Reg. Kafka - Socket Communication from external system

Hi,

 

Please let us know whether KAFKA will support socket based communication
with external GPS device. GPS Device will send GPS packet to the KAFKA IP
and Port. 

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi Gwen,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Our GPS device support TCP IP Socket communication with IP and Port. Kindly suggest KAKFA supports directly or do we need to write service layer for interface with KAFKA.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Basavaraj

Kafka requires a specific protocol and it is unlikely that GPS devices will support this protocol out of the box.

 

The usual solution is to create a service that accepts GPS packets using the protocol that GPS devices support, converts it to Kafka records and produce them to a Kafka broker.
