Event Streams provides additional help for setting up a Kafka Connect environment and starting the MQ source connector. Log in to the Event Streams UI, click the Toolbox tab and scroll to the Connectors section.
You can download the MQ source connector from GitHub:
-
Download the connector plugin JAR file:
Go to the connector releases page and download the JAR file for the latest release.
-
Add the connector plugin to your Kafka Connect environment.
To add a connector, ensure you have your connector plugin directory or JAR files in the location specified in the
plugin.path
property of your Kafka Connect worker configuration (for example,<kafka>/config/connect-distributed.properties
). Theplugin.path
property is a comma-separated list of paths to directories that contain connector plugins.For example:
plugin.path=/usr/local/share/java,/usr/local/share/kafka/plugins,/opt/connectors
-
Restart Kafka Connect to make the new connector available in the environment.
