What could be causing the connection issue when setting properties.bootstrap.server in Kafka configuration?
I'm facing an issue where setting the properties.bootstrap.server
in my Kafka configuration is resulting in a connection error. Despite trying different IP values, the meta-node always looks at 127.0.0.1
. This occurs when trying to connect an external Kafka broker outside of Docker. Any insights on what might be causing this issue?

- Check the
advertised.listeners
setting in Kafka configuration to ensure it matches the external IP. - Verify the network configuration and firewall settings to allow connections to the external Kafka broker.
- Ensure that the Kafka broker is reachable from outside the Docker environment.
- Review the Kafka broker logs for any errors or warnings related to the connection.
- Consider updating the Kafka configuration to include the correct external IP address for
advertised.listeners
.
Example:
advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://external_ip:port
