Kafka
Kafka destination plugin
Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications. It provides a high-throughput, low-latency platform for processing and transmitting large amounts of data, including logs, metrics, events, and other types of telemetry data.
This plugin provides a flexible and configurable way to transmit your data to Kafka. Whether you're working with logs, metrics, traces, or other types of telemetry data, the Kafka destination plugin in Calyptia Core provides a reliable and efficient way to integrate your data with Kafka for real-time processing and analysis.
