Viewing broker host information

Question

I created a Kafka cluster with 2 Brokers per AZ, and when I click on the **View client information** button, it only lists 3 zookeeper and broker hosts. Isn't it supposed to have 6 in total ?  
  
Here are the host names of the brokers

```
b-6.********.kafka.us-east-2.amazonaws.com:9092
b-1.**********.kafka.us-east-2.amazonaws.com:9092,
b-4.**********.kafka.us-east-2.amazonaws.com:9092 
```

I am assuming it is missing b-2,b-3 and b-5  
  
Thanks,  
Jason

Answer

Hi Jason,  
  
The brokers listed are bootstrap brokers. It is not necessary to list all the brokers in the cluster as bootstrap brokers, and 3 are sufficient for producers/consumers to contact the cluster. So we don't list all the brokers there.  
  
Thanks
