This will be useful in the situations where a particular host (or set of hosts) is causing some trouble for the broker. Adminstrators can dynamically update these configs to restrict the connections coming from
faulty hosts.
Proposed Changes
Use case: To restrict the connections coming from faulty clients/hosts
Config scope: Default for whole cluster (/configs/brokers/<default>)
Config options:
max.connections.per.ip
max.connections.per.ip.overrides
Dynamic update changes:
Above configs will be updated with the new values. Existing connections will not be affected, restrictions will be applied on
new connection creationsDescribe the new thing you want to do in appropriate detail. This may be fairly extensive and have large subsections of its own. Or it may be a few sentences. Use judgement based on the scope of the change.
