   If you don't have the broker IDs for your cluster, you can find them by listing the broker nodes. For more information, see list-nodes.

   aws kafka reboot-broker --cluster-arn ClusterArn --broker-ids BrokerId

   The output of this reboot-broker operation looks like the following JSON.

   {
       
       "ClusterArn": "arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:012345678012:cluster/exampleClusterName/abcdefab-1234-abcd-5678-cdef0123ab01-2",
       "ClusterOperationArn": "arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:012345678012:cluster-operation/exampleClusterName/abcdefab-1234-abcd-5678-cdef0123ab01-2/0123abcd-abcd-4f7f-1234-9876543210ef"
   }

2. To get the result of the reboot-broker operation, run the following command, replacing ClusterOperationArn with the ARN that you obtained in the output of the reboot-broker command.

   aws kafka describe-cluster-operation --cluster-operation-arn ClusterOperationArn

   The output of this describe-cluster-operation command looks like the following JSON example.

   {
       "ClusterOperationInfo": {
           "ClientRequestId": "c0b7af47-8591-45b5-9c0c-909a1a2c99ea",
           "ClusterArn": "arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:012345678012:cluster/exampleClusterName/abcdefab-1234-abcd-5678-cdef0123ab01-2",
           "CreationTime": "2019-09-25T23:48:04.794Z",
           "OperationArn": "arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:012345678012:cluster-operation/exampleClusterName/abcdefab-1234-abcd-5678-cdef0123ab01-2/0123abcd-abcd-4f7f-1234-9876543210ef",
           "OperationState": "REBOOT_IN_PROGRESS",
           "OperationType": "REBOOT_NODE",
           "SourceClusterInfo": {},
           "TargetClusterInfo": {}
       }
   }

When the reboot operation is complete, the OperationState is REBOOT_COMPLETE.
