Kafka Connect CLI tricks

I do lots of work with Kafka Connect, almost entirely in Distributed mode—even just with 1 node -> makes scaling out much easier when/if needed. Because I’m using Distributed mode, I use the Kafka Connect REST API to configure and manage it. Whilst others might use GUI REST tools like Postman etc, I tend to just use the commandline. Here are some useful snippets that I use all the time.
