The Apache Kafka Output connector can be used to forward data to Event Hubs, which provides an endpoint compatible with the Apache Kafka® producer and consumer APIs. The Kafka connector is available on both Data Flow and Rule Engine.
The Kafka connector requires at least one kafka bootstrap server to be provided in a comma-separated list. It also requires kafka topic to which the data will be sent.
For the authentication, a simple username/password authentication mechanism, values for Security Protocol (SASL_SSL) and SASL mechanism (PLAIN) are fixed and not editable.
Username ($ConnectionString) and password (value of connection string for the event hub namespace) only need to be provided in order to authenticate.
Optionally: The custom payload can be selected for making use of templated payload in the desired structure. If the custom payload is not selected, the whole data sample will be forwarded.
A tutorial about "How to send data to Event Hubs with Apache Kafka" can be found here.
