kafkaedit
Write events to a Kafka topic. This uses the Kafka Producer API to write messages to a topic on the broker.
The only required configuration is the topic name. The default codec is json, so events will be persisted on the broker in json format. If you select a codec of plain, Logstash will encode your messages with not only the message but also with a timestamp and hostname. If you do not want anything but your message passing through, you should make the output configuration something like:
output {
kafka {
codec => plain {
format => "%{message}"
}
}
}

Detailsedit
acksedit
-
Value can be any of:
0,1,all -
Default value is
"1"
The number of acknowledgments the producer requires the leader to have received before considering a request complete.
acks=0, the producer will not wait for any acknowledgment from the server at all. acks=1, This will mean the leader will write the record to its local log but will respond without awaiting full acknowledgement from all followers. acks=all, This means the leader will wait for the full set of in-sync replicas to acknowledge the record.
batch_sizeedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
16384
The producer will attempt to batch records together into fewer requests whenever multiple records are being sent to the same partition. This helps performance on both the client and the server. This configuration controls the default batch size in bytes.
block_on_buffer_fulledit
- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
true
When our memory buffer is exhausted we must either stop accepting new records (block) or throw errors. By default this setting is true and we block, however in some scenarios blocking is not desirable and it is better to immediately give an error.
bootstrap_serversedit
- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"localhost:9092"
This is for bootstrapping and the producer will only use it for getting metadata (topics,
partitions and replicas). The socket connections for sending the actual data will be
established based on the broker information returned in the metadata. The format is
host1:port1,host2:port2, and the list can be a subset of brokers or a VIP pointing to a
subset of brokers.
buffer_memoryedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
33554432
The total bytes of memory the producer can use to buffer records waiting to be sent to the server.
client_idedit
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
The id string to pass to the server when making requests. The purpose of this is to be able to track the source of requests beyond just ip/port by allowing a logical application name to be included with the request
codecedit
- Value type is codec
-
Default value is
"json"
The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
compression_typeedit
-
Value can be any of:
none,gzip,snappy -
Default value is
"none"
The compression type for all data generated by the producer. The default is none (i.e. no compression). Valid values are none, gzip, or snappy.
key_serializeredit
- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer"
Serializer class for the key of the message
linger_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
0
The producer groups together any records that arrive in between request transmissions into a single batched request. Normally this occurs only under load when records arrive faster than they can be sent out. However in some circumstances the client may want to reduce the number of requests even under moderate load. This setting accomplishes this by adding a small amount of artificial delay—that is, rather than immediately sending out a record the producer will wait for up to the given delay to allow other records to be sent so that the sends can be batched together.
message_keyedit
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
The key for the message
metadata_fetch_timeout_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
60000
the timeout setting for initial metadata request to fetch topic metadata.
metadata_max_age_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
300000
the max time in milliseconds before a metadata refresh is forced.
receive_buffer_bytesedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
32768
The size of the TCP receive buffer to use when reading data
reconnect_backoff_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
10
The amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to a given host when a connection fails.
retriesedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
0
Setting a value greater than zero will cause the client to resend any record whose send fails with a potentially transient error.
retry_backoff_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
100
The amount of time to wait before attempting to retry a failed produce request to a given topic partition.
send_buffer_bytesedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
131072
The size of the TCP send buffer to use when sending data.
timeout_msedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
30000
The configuration controls the maximum amount of time the server will wait for acknowledgments from followers to meet the acknowledgment requirements the producer has specified with the acks configuration. If the requested number of acknowledgments are not met when the timeout elapses an error will be returned. This timeout is measured on the server side and does not include the network latency of the request.
topic_idedit
- This is a required setting.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
The topic to produce messages to
