| Option | KAFKA_MANAGED_BY_HUMIO | |
| Description | Set/unset LogScale to create topics and manage replicas in Kafka | |
| Default | true | |
By default, LogScale will create topics and manage the number of replicas in Kafka for the topics being used. If you run LogScale on top of an existing Kafka or want to manage this outside of LogScale, set this to false.
When enabled, LogScale sets up the ingest queue, global and
chatter topics in Kafka using reasonable default settings.
LogScale will not edit existing topics to conform to these
defaults. To edit topic settings use Kafka's admin scripts:
kafka/bin/kafka-configs.sh.
