Developer configuration options¶

Broker configuration example¶

The following is a full example of a Channel based Broker object which shows the possible configuration options that you can modify:

apiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1
kind: Broker
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: default
  annotations:
    eventing.knative.dev/broker.class: MTChannelBasedBroker
spec:
  config:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    name: config-br-default-channel
    namespace: knative-eventing
  delivery:
    deadLetterSink:
      ref:
        kind: Service
        namespace: example-namespace
        name: example-service
        apiVersion: v1
      uri: example-uri
    retry: 5
    backoffPolicy: exponential
    backoffDelay: "2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M"

You can specify any valid name for your broker. Using default will create a broker named default.
The namespace must be an existing namespace in your cluster. Using default will create the broker in the default namespace.
You can set the eventing.knative.dev/broker.class annotation to change the class of the broker. The default broker class is MTChannelBasedBroker, but Knative also supports use of the Kafka and RabbitMQBroker broker class. For more information see the Apache Kafka Broker or RabbitMQ Broker documentation.
spec.config is used to specify the default backing channel configuration for Channel based Broker implementations. For more information on configuring the default channel type, see the documentation on Configure Broker defaults.
spec.delivery is used to configure event delivery options. Event delivery options specify what happens to an event that fails to be delivered to an event sink. For more information, see the documentation on Event delivery.
