Kafka exporter is not deployed

Symptoms

When enabling the Kafka exporter (strimziOverrides.kafkaExporter), the instance of Event Streams enters a failed state and the operator logs show failure to reconcile due to a NullPointerException. The Kafka exporter is not deployed.

Causes

The exception is thrown because the operator is accessing incorrect resources when configuring the Kafka exporter.

Resolving the problem

Contact IBM Support to request a fix, and include issue number ES-151 in your correspondence.
