Connect Confluent Cloud

Confluent Cloud is a fully managed, cloud-native data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka. The Confluent Cloud integration imports your billing and cost data into DoiT Cloud Intelligence so you can analyze Confluent spending in Cloud Analytics.

Prerequisites

• A Confluent Cloud account with BillingAdmin role on the organization.
• A DoiT account with the Billing Profiles Admin permission.

Required credentials

Field	Description	Where to find it
Organization ID	Your Confluent Cloud organization ID (e.g. org-xxxxx)	Confluent Cloud console → Administration → Organization
Cloud API Key	API key in key:secret format with BillingAdmin role	Confluent Cloud console → Administration → Cloud API keys

Create a Cloud API key

1. Sign in to Confluent Cloud.

2. Navigate to Administration → Cloud API keys.

3. Select Add key.

4. Create or select a service account and assign the BillingAdmin role to it.

5. Copy the Key and Secret, and combine them as key:secret.
