flume ng - Streaming Kafka Messages to MySQL Database

Question

I want to write Kafka messages to MySQL database. There is an example in this link. In that example, apache flume used for consume messages and writing it to MySQL. I'm using same code and when i run the flume-ng agent and event always becomes null

And my flume.conf.properties file is:

agent.sources=kafkaSrc
agent.channels=channel1
agent.sinks=jdbcSink

agent.channels.channel1.type=org.apache.flume.channel.kafka.KafkaChannel
agent.channels.channel1.brokerList=localhost:9092
agent.channels.channel1.topic=kafkachannel
agent.channels.channel1.zookeeperConnect=localhost:2181
agent.channels.channel1.capacity=10000
agent.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity=1000
agent.channels.channel1.parseAsFlumeEvent=false


agent.sources.kafkaSrc.type = org.apache.flume.source.kafka.KafkaSource
agent.sources.kafkaSrc.channels = channel1
agent.sources.kafkaSrc.zookeeperConnect = localhost:2181
agent.sources.kafkaSrc.topic = kafka-mysql

agent.sinks.jdbcSink.type = com.stratio.ingestion.sink.jdbc.JDBCSink
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.connectionString = jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test?useSSL=false
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.username=root
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.password=pass
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.batchSize = 10
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.channel =channel1
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.sqlDialect=MYSQL
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
agent.sinks.jdbcSink.sql=INSERT INTO kafkamsg(msg) VALUES(${body:varchar})

Where I'm wrong?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In my referance example, flume listens kafka for kafka-mysql topic. But this code works for kafkachannel topic. So we need to produce messages to kafkachannel topic, i don't know why.
