In this tutorial, we will:
- Configure the Pulsar client

- Verify the results

## Prerequisites

- [Set up a tenant](tutorials-tenant.md)
- [Create a namespace](tutorials-namespace.md)
- [Create a topic](tutorials-topic.md)

## Produce and consume messages

To produce and consume messages, complete the following steps.

1. In the `${PULSAR_HOME}/conf/client.conf` file, replace `webServiceUrl` and `brokerServiceUrl` with your service URL.

2. Create a subscription to consume messages from `apache/pulsar/test-topic`.

   ```bash
   bin/pulsar-client consume -s sub apache/pulsar/test-topic  -n 0
   ```

3. In a new terminal, create a producer and send 10 messages to test-topic.

   ```bash
   bin/pulsar-client produce apache/pulsar/test-topic  -m "---------hello apache pulsar-------" -n 10
   ```

4. Verify the results.

   ```
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------
   ----- got message -----
   ---------hello apache pulsar-------

   Output from the producer side shows the messages have been produced successfully:
   18:15:15.489 [main] INFO  org.apache.pulsar.client.cli.PulsarClientTool - 10 messages successfully produced.
   ```
