How can I print the schema id from kafka-console-consumer?

I want to print the schema id of a received avro message from kafka-console-consumer.

I have tried the following command from inside confluent platform (docker-based):

kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic topic_name \
--property print.schema.ids=true --property \
 schema.registry.url="http://schema-registry:8081" \
--value-deserializer io.confluent.kafka.serializers.KafkaAvroDeserializer

But I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigException: Missing required configuration "schema.registry.url" which has no default value.
        at org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigDef.parseValue(ConfigDef.java:515)

        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala:51)
        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala)

What am I missing. Is there any other flag that I should instead use?

Solution

  • i tried to do the same as you today and came upon:

    kafka-avro-console-consumer \
  --topic topic_name  \
  --property schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081 \
  --bootstrap-server kafka-broker:9092 \
  --property print.key=true \
  --property print.schema.ids=true \
  --property key.separator="-" \
  --partition 0 \
  --offset 2423843 \
  --max-messages 3

    this CLI command exists in the confluentinc/cp-schema-registry docker image.
