Any solutions/suggestions in how we can avoid the plaintext password in the json files?

The configuration of this connector respect the standart kafka connect configuration. Here you can find more info about it: https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/connect/userguide.html

Using the rest api you are not forced to use curl as in the examples, but you can use any other tool (confluent monitoring gui https://www.confluent.io/product/confluent-platform/gui-driven-management-and-monitoring/ or any custom tool/script able to make rest request)

Thanks for quick response. Will checkout the links provided. Just want to confirm that I was referring to the es.user and es.password fields.

You can use any of the providers with newer versions of kafka to avoid plain text. https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/connect/userguide.html#configprovider-interface
