Failed to ensure HPA is correctly created for ScaledObject

[ndoddi-conga]

I Installed KEDA Latest version and deployed ScaledObject in my cluster and followed all instructions to enable KEDA with KAFKA scaler but once i deployed. HPA is not enabled and i am facing this issue when i described my ScaledObject

here is the error:
Status:

I am not sure where i am going wrong. I removed my kafka details from the triggers

could you please post logs from the KEDA operator?

thank you zroubalik for sending the link but from it there is no much details mentioned about SSL cert like i do have server cert lets say kafka.pem file but how i can fit this in these values since i am not aware what details need to provide here.

like

ca:
cert:
key:

i just have a cert kafka.pem cert and i mount this every time to a consumer and producer pod to connect to kafka but since ScaledObject kind is different and i am not aware how i can fit the cert in the above details ?

I think you can convert .pem to .cert and .key and reference it here (eg. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13732826/convert-pem-to-crt-and-key)

@ndoddi-conga Does this answer your question?

[ndoddi-conga]

Yes, Thanks once i provide all the cert's encoded keys KEDA can able to connect to KAFKA brokers and scale it up
