We have released Kafka support!!

This is just the beginning of the journey and we’re looking forward to working with the community to build this out.

Thank you so much. Am having some trouble when I tried to set this up.
I installed the required version of Kafka, set up the config as mentioned. But the collector is not starting. When I try to open the consumer to see the collector payload, I see only empty terminal.
Below is the last few lines of the collector debug messages of producer starting. Can you please help?

Hi @manju,

For us to be able to help you here we are going to need a lot more context than just the output from the collector (which appears to be operating correctly and without errors).

Please provide:

  1. The collector configuration file
  2. How you setup Kafka and the associated topics?
  3. How you are actually checking for events downstream of the collector?
  4. What things you have tried to resolve the issue?

Cheers!
Josh
