<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div><div>As you may have all known already, We are going to develop a new feature, Kafka source for syslog-ng product during this GSoC 2016 under the guidance of Viktor Juhasz. <br><br></div><div>A simple abstract idea of this project is, <br></div>The syslog-ng application can read messages from the sources. It
processes them with filters, rewrite rules, parsers and finally sends
messages to their destinations. The syslog-ng application already has a
Kafka destination that is implemented in Java. The Kafka source will
allow syslog-ng to read messages from Kafka, for an example this can be used for
example as a queue between several syslog-ng instances.<br><br></div>Kafka source project will allow you to,<br> -Use Kafka consumer which uses the high level Kafka group consuming API.<br></div>-Continue reading from the last message from which syslog-ng reloaded/restarted. <br>-Avoid message loosing or message duplication as much as possible whenever there is multiple syslog-ng reading the same kafka input. <br><br></div>If you are interested to become a feature owner for Kafka source project and give us guidance on user's perspective, it will be very easy for us to build a effective component. Appreciate if you can contact us by sending mail to us or to this thread. <br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Vithulan. <br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Vithulan MV.</span><br></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="monospace, monospace"><br></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="monospace, monospace">Undergraduate, </font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="monospace, monospace">Department of Computer Science & Engineering,</font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="monospace, monospace">University of Moratuwa,</font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="monospace, monospace">Sri lanka.</font></div></div></div>
