I installed confluent using this ansible project and I have problems with confluent cli tool:

[root@test1 ~]# confluent status

control-center is [DOWN]
ksql-server is [DOWN]

[root@test1 ~]# confluent start

zookeeper is [DOWN]
Cannot start Kafka, Zookeeper is not running. Check your deployment

I'm new to confluent and in confluent docs, there are a lot of examples with confluent cli which I can't use (like adding new connector) How can I make confluent cli works with this ansible project?

[cotedm]

the confluent cli is really intended as a development tool for a laptop setup. It's not intended to use with this Ansible project or any other production-like setup. Does that make sense?

Got it. Thank you for the answer.
