Disabling Smart Connect does not affect services.

Note

This function is unavailable for single-node instances. Kafka 3.x instances do not support this function.

Impact

  • Brokers related to Smart Connect are automatically deleted.

  • If you disable Smart Connect and then enable it again, deleted Smart Connect tasks cannot be retrieved and need to be created again.
