Configure Cluster Properties

Redpanda cluster configuration properties are automatically set to the default values and are replicated across all brokers. You can edit certain cluster configuration properties with the Cloud API. For example, you can enable and manage Iceberg topics, data transforms, and audit logging.

Limitations

Cluster configuration with the Cloud API is supported on BYOC and Dedicated clusters running on AWS and GCP.

  • It is not available on Serverless clusters.

  • It is not available on BYOC and Dedicated clusters running on Azure.

Set cluster configuration properties

You can set cluster configuration properties when you create a cluster, or you can edit an existing cluster.

  • Create a cluster by making a POST /v1/clusters request. Edit cluster_configuration in the request body with a key-value pair for custom_properties.

  • Update a cluster by making a PATCH /v1/clusters/{cluster.id} request, passing the cluster ID as a parameter. Include the properties to update in the request body.

For a complete list of the cluster configuration properties you can edit in Redpanda Cloud, see Cluster Configuration Properties.

Some properties require a cluster restart for updates to take effect. This triggers a long-running operation that can take several minutes to complete.
