Hi list,

Just a quick note to let you know that kafka support has now been merged in
collectd, which means that system and application metrics can directly be
produced on a topic from the collectd daemon.

Additionally, syslog-ng will soon ship with a kafka producing module as
well, it will be part of the next release of the syslog-ng-incubator module
collection: https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-incubator.

What this means is that there is now a very lightweight way to create a
infrastructure event stream on top of kafka, with known tools in the ops
world.

I relied on the librdkafka library to provide kafka producing, which I can
recommend for C needs.
