Is there anyway to use Kafka input instead of file or other types (.i.e. UDP SYSLOG) in a module?
I mean consider the events are available as a Kafka topic (instead of a file). As I checked it seems only file and UDP are the options for the modules inputs.
If possible, is there any guide to how to do that?
I'm using the latest version
I know it is there but the point is in different modules like Cisco only file and UDP inputs are available.
I'm looking for a way to replace that with kafka
So yes and no. So u could change the input variable to kafka but no module is setup to handle the kafka config options and pass them to the kafka input. I think this would be interesting and it wouldn't be to hard to implement, just add the config options for the kafka input like with file or udp/syslog.
