KafkaTopic not working (topics not created)

[anamaymane]

I'm trying to create a KafkaTopic resource using strimzi, however the topic is not create on kafka.

When listing the KafkaTopic resources, I can see that the KafkaTopic is created but the state is not ready:

$ kubectl get KafkaTopic
NAME              CLUSTER      PARTITIONS   REPLICATION FACTOR   READY
pipeline-events   my-cluster   2            2   

When describing the resource, I can't see a relevant event:

$ kubectl describe KafkaTopic pipeline-events 
Name:         pipeline-events

Also I've noticed that in the cluster operator logs, there is no sign of a topic creation or the creation of the topic operator.

here is my KafkaTopic yaml file:

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaTopic
metadata:
  name: pipeline-events
  labels:
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-cluster
spec:

  partitions: 2

Here is my kafka cluster yaml file:

May not be connected , but I had some error logged in entity operator log , when my topic was not created .

[scholzj]

As with the previous questions you raised. You need to share more details for anyone to be able to help you:

• Logs
• Steps to reproduce
• etc.

You should also check for previous discussions with similar topics as that might be helpful to you as well.

Sorry for the incomplete informations. In fact, I'm just trying to create a topic using the KafkaTopic Ressource, here is the pods created:
