KAFKA MONITORING NOTES
Q: What is HTTP Event Collector?
The Splunk HTTP Event collector is really pretty straight forward and you can find a lot of documentation online that would explain how it works much better than I can. It’s just an alternate way of getting data into Splunk rather than the usual means (forwarder). It’s basically just a listener that accepts raw or JSON data and sends it along to an index.
BACKGROUND
- What is kafka-splunk-connect?
Splunk Connect for Kafka is a Kafka Connect Sink for Splunk with the following features:
- Data ingestion from Kafka topics into Splunk via Splunk HTTP Event Collector(HEC).
- In-flight data transformation and enrichment.
- How do we install it ?
https://github.com/splunk/kafka-connect-splunk
For Installation, we Need access to :
- Kafka hosts that need to be monitored
- SPLUNK DEV-STL instance access
connect-distributed.properties
filebootstrap.servers
andplugin.path
- which is available for download
INFRASTRUCTURE
Q: Which SPLUNK instance is used for monitoring ?
access to any data for this POC will be through the MSE dev instance:
Q: What do we set values for “bootstrap.servers” and “plugin.path” in connect-distributed.properties file?
bootstrap.servers
= kafka broker
plugin.path =
install directory of your Kafka Connect Sink and Source Connectors = place the jar file here for
installation
Q: Where do we install the connector jar ?
the jar needs to be installed and configured on the Kafka host(s) per the instructions on Splunk/Github
Place the jar under “plugin.path” directory
Q: How do we start the connector?
.$KAFKA_HOME/bin/connect-distributed.sh $KAFKA_HOME/config/connect-distributed.properties
Q: How do we create connector task?
Run the following curl command for host = nc3-001b-ixb-sp and port = 8088 and below token
curl localhost:8083/connectors -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"name": "kafka-connect-splunk",
"config": {
"connector.class": "com.splunk.kafka.connect.SplunkSinkConnector",
"tasks.max": "3",
"splunk.indexes": "kafka",
"topics":"Kafka Control Metrics Reporter",
"splunk.hec.uri": "xxxxxx:8088",
"splunk.hec.token": "ff7810ff-7cd2-4756-876b-58bc119b3286"
