Aris, even today you can already use Kafka to deliver Netflow/Pcap/etc. messages, and people are already using it for that (I did that in previous projects of mine, too).
Simply encode your Pcap/... messages appropriately (I'd recommend to take a look at Avro, which allows you to structure your data similar to e.g. Pcap's native format [1]), and then write the encoded messages to Kafka. Your downstream applications can then read the encoded messages back from Kafka, decode, and commence processing. That was a brief summary to get you started, feel free to take a look at the Apache Kafka docs at kafka.apache.org and/or ask further questions here. -Michael [1] https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LibpcapFileFormat On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 11:19 AM, Aris Risdianto <a...@smartx.kr> wrote: > Hello, > > > Is there any plan or implementation to use Kafka for delivering > sFlow/NetFlow/Pcap messages? > > > Best Regards, > Aris. >
