Mirror Maker2 not able to connect to target cluster broker

I have two Kafka clusters on AWS MSK (in same environment and region). I have a KafkaConnect cluster setup on the destination cluster and have setup a mirror maker connector to run. The submission of the connector is fine and there are no errors.

When I try to check status of the connector, it says, RUNNING: {"name":"mirror-maker-test-connector","connector":{"state":"RUNNING","worker_id":"<ip>:<port>"},"tasks":[task_list],"type":"source"}

I see the following exception:

[2022-01-12 19:46:33,772] DEBUG [Producer clientId=connector-producer-mirror-maker-test-connector-0] Connection with b-2.<broker_ip> disconnected (org.apache.kafka.common.network.Selector)

I am able to connect to the specified broker with netcat from within the Kafka Connect k8s pod.

Anyone faced this issue before?

Solution 1:

I got it to work - had to add SSL properties for both consumer and producer when submitting the Mirror Maker connector.

"target.cluster.security.protocol": "SSL", 
"target.cluster.ssl.truststore.location":"<certs_path>",
"target.cluster.ssl.truststore.password": "<password>"
"source.cluster.security.protocol": "SSL",
"source.cluster.ssl.truststore.location": "<certs_path>",
"source.cluster.ssl.truststore.password": "<password>"
