Not sure if you could do it directly in config file but one way write a consumer to pull the messages from Kafka then have syslog-ng listening to a socket source and pipe the Kafka messages into it and go from there with syslog-ng.

I'm using Kafka but I'm pushing to it with syslog-ng.

I would like to source log messages from kafka with syslog-ng so that I can leverage some message parsing components.

I may place the post parsed messages back into a kafka pipe but I am having problems determining a good way to get messages from kafka to syslog-ng.


Any recommendations?
