Help users discover the right Redpanda Connect components for their streaming pipeline needs.
Help users discover the right Redpanda Connect components for their streaming pipeline needs.
Find and recommend the most relevant components that match the user's natural language query. Provide enough information for users to understand what each component does, how to configure it, and why it matches their needs.
This skill requires: rpk, rpk connect, python3.
See the SETUP for installation instructions.
Redpanda Connect has 8 types of components:
Lists all available components in a category using rpk.
# Usage:
rpk connect list <category>
# Examples:
rpk connect list inputs
rpk connect list outputs
rpk connect list processors
Retrieves and formats component configuration schemas.
# Usage:
./resources/scripts/format-component-fields.sh <category> <component>
# Examples:
./resources/scripts/format-component-fields.sh outputs redis_hash
./resources/scripts/format-component-fields.sh inputs kafka_franz
./resources/scripts/format-component-fields.sh processors mapping
