Hi all, I'm evaluating using Kafka. I liked this thing of Facebook scribe that you log to your own machine and then there's a separate process that forwards messages to the central logger.
With Kafka it seems that I have to embed the publisher in my app, and deal with any communication problem managing that on the producer side. I googled quite a bit trying to find a project that would basically use daemon that parses a log file and send the lines to the Kafka cluster (something like a tail file.log but instead of redirecting the output to the console: send it to kafka) Does anyone knows about something like that? Thanks! Fernando.
