The Write Kafka plugin sends metrics to Apache Kafka, a distributed message bus.

The data sent can be formatted in three different ways:

• PUTVAL commands, one line per metric.
• collectd's standard JSON format.
• Graphite's ASCII format.

Synopsis

LoadPlugin "write_kafka"
<Plugin write_kafka>
  Property "metadata.broker.list" "localhost:9092"
  <Topic "mytopic">
    Format JSON
  </Topic>
</Plugin>

This will register a write callback with the name write_kafka/mytopic.

Dependencies

• librdkafka
• pthread
• zlib
