nats-sink-binding.yaml
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: nats-sink-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: nats-sink

      servers: The Servers
      topic: The Topic

Prerequisite

You have Camel K installed on the cluster.

  1. Save the nats-sink-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the sink by using the following command:

    kubectl apply -f nats-sink-binding.yaml

Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the sink by using the following command:

kamel bind nats-sink -p "sink.servers=The Servers" -p "sink.topic=The Topic" channel:mychannel

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
