Connect to your cluster

BeginnerTime estimate: 5 minutes

Prerequisites

• Camunda Cloud account
• Download and install Node.js and npm
• Install the appropriate package:

npm i -g zbctl

First connection

After creating a client and downloading the connection file, you will now need to source it to make it available in your environment. If these are known to the system, a client can communicate directly with its own cluster in the cloud without further configuration.

source ~/Downloads/CamundaCloudMgmtAPI-Client-test-client.txt

zbctl status

As a result, you will get a similar response:

Cluster size: 1
Partitions count: 2
Replication factor: 1
Gateway version: unavailable
Brokers:
  Broker 0 - zeebe-0.zeebe-broker-service.456637ef-8832-428b-a2a4-82b531b25635-zeebe.svc.cluster.local:26501
