By default, Amazon MSK Connect creates three separate topics in the Kafka cluster for each Amazon MSK Connector to store the connector’s configuration, offset, and status. The default topic names are structured as follows:
__msk_connect_configs_
connector-name_connector-id__msk_connect_status_
connector-name_connector-id__msk_connect_offsets_
connector-name_connector-id
Note
To provide the offset continuity between source connectors, you can use an offset storage topic of your choice, instead of the default topic. Specifying an offset storage topic helps you accomplish tasks like creating a source connector that resumes reading from the last offset of a previous connector. To specify an offset storage topic, supply a value for the offset.storage.topic property in the Amazon MSK Connect worker configuration before creating the connector.
