CEL Topic

Introduction

Conduktor Gateway's CEL topic feature uses CEL (Common Expression Language) expression to filter messages, based on a simple CEL Expression in the form.

Currently

• Filtered by:
  • Record key (It supports SR):
    • Record key as string: - .. record.key == 'some thing'
    • Record key as schema: .. record.key.someValue.someChildValue == 'some thing'
  • Record value (It supports SR): .. record.value.someValue.someChildValue == 'some thing'
  • Partition: .. record.partition == 1
  • Timestamp: .. record.timestamp == 98717823712
  • Header: .. record.header.someHeaderKey == 'some thing'
  • Offset: .. record.offset == 1

Configuration

key	type	description
virtualTopic	String	When accessed, this virtual topic retrieves filtered data from the specified client topic, applying a CEL expression for data filtering.
topic	String	Specifies the client topic from which data is fetched.
expression	String	A CEL expression that returns BOOLEAN to filter data. This determines which data from the topic is relevant based on the given criteria.
schemaRegistryConfig	Schema Registry	Schema Registry Config
celCacheSize	int	In memory cache size for cel expressions, balancing speed and resource use, optimize performance.

Schema Registry

key	type	default	description
host	String		Url of schema registry
cacheSize	String	50	This interceptor caches schemas locally so that it doesn't have to query the schema registry
additionalConfigs	map		Additional properties maps to specific security related parameters. For enhanced security, you can use the template ${MY_ENV_VAR} in map values, then define their actual values in the environmental config variables of Gateway. (eg: -e MY_ENV_VAR=someValue)
