The Connect area lists your cluster’s connectors with their states, and the installed plugins (the connector classes your Connect workers can run, each linking to its official documentation).

​
Creating a connector

Create Connector opens a three-step wizard:
  1. Select Class — pick the plugin. Filter by connector type (All / Source / Sink) and browse as cards or a compact list.
  2. Setup — configure it, in whichever mode suits you:
    • Form view — a form generated from the plugin’s own config definition, grouped into collapsible sections with error badges per group.
    • JSON editor — the raw config in an editor, for pasting an existing definition. Both modes run live validation against the Connect worker as you type — errors appear where they belong before you ever submit. You can also upload a config file.
  3. Verify — review the final JSON and Submit.

​
The connector detail page

Three tabs:
  • Info — the overview card (name, type, class, documentation link) and the status card: connector state, worker id, task counts — with a badge when tasks have failed, and the failure trace one click away.
  • Tasks — every task with its state and worker, plus a per-task Restart action.
  • Config — the connector’s configuration as JSON, with a Download button.

​
Operating a connector

The header actions adapt to the connector’s state:
A failed task keeps its failure trace — check it (Info tab, failed-tasks badge) before restarting, or you’ll likely just fail again for the same reason.
