Is there a way to send data from InfluxDB to Kafka?

Question

Is there a way to send data from influxDB to kafka? Also, the kafka topic has an avro schema defined. So I wanted to know if there was a way to send data into kafka from InfluxDB keeping this in mind as well.

Answer 1

There appears to be a few options for this:

• Telegraf daemon by Influx there is also an Output plugin.
• Kafka consumer for InfluxDB (written in Python)

You could also write your own using the InfluxDB API.
