How do I ask kafka which topics have extraordinary overrides?

Question

I understand my default retention period, but I want to see if any topics have special overrides for the retention period.

I've tried using the kafka-topics, but it doesn't connect with zookeeper.

kafka-topics --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --topics-with-overrides

I expect this output to be basically nothing but I get the error message:

Exception in thread "main" kafka.zookeeper.ZooKeeperClientTimeoutException: Timed out waiting for connection while in state: CONNECTING

Turns out my zookeeper param wasn't correct, zookeeper is not hosted on the kafka server. This worked:

kafka-topics --zookeeper myactualzookeeperserver.com:2181 --describe --topics-with-overrides
