How to continuously feed sniffed packets to kafka?

Question

Currently I am sniffing packets from my local wlan interface like :

sudo tshark > sampleData.pcap

However, I need to feed this data to kafka.

Answer 1

I think you can either

• create a tiny server that connects to kafka ant listens to a port
• use the kafka-file connector and append all your data to that file. http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart_kafkaconnect
