Examples
This example shows how you can launch the scheduler defined in the myscheduler.conf config file and give it the instance name PrimaryScheduler:
$ /opt/vertica/packages/kafka/bin/vkconfig launch --instance-name PrimaryScheduler --conf myscheduler.conf
This example shows how you can launch an instance named SecureScheduler with SSL enabled:
$ /opt/vertica/packages/kafka/bin/vkconfig launch --instance-name SecureScheduler --enable-SSL true \ --ssl-ca-alias authenticcert --ssl-key-alias ourkey \ --ssl-key-password secret \ --conf myscheduler.conf
