# Debezium Mysql Source Connector

Debezium Mysql Source Connector allows you to capture any changes on your Mysql
DB and store them as messages on your Kafka topics. In this guide, we will walk
you through creating Debezium Mysql Source Connector.

## Get Started

### Create a Kafka Cluster

<Info>
  If you do not have a Kafka cluster and/or topic already, follow [these
  steps](../overall/getstarted) to create one.
</Info>

### Create the Connector

Go to the Connectors tab, and create your first connector by clicking the **New
Connector** button.

The advanced screen is for any other configuration that the selected connector
supports. At the top of this screen, you can find a link to related
documentation. We can proceed with what we have and click the **Connect** button
directly.

Congratulations! You have created a Debezium Mysql Source Connector. As you put
data into your Mysql DB, you will see that topics prefixed with given **Server
Name** will be created and populated with new data.

You can go to **Messages** section to see latest events as they are coming from
Kafka.
