How to use Kafka with SSL via logback appander?


I use this logback appender to send logs to Kafka:

https://github.com/danielwegener/logback-kafka-appender

When Kafka was PLAINTEXT everything worked correctly. But when Kafka changed to SSL, it is not possible to send messages. I did not find the necessary information in readme.md. Has anyone had this setup experience? Or maybe use something else?

<keyingStrategy class="com.github.danielwegener.logback.kafka.keying.NoKeyKeyingStrategy"/>
<deliveryStrategy class="com.github.danielwegener.logback.kafka.delivery.AsynchronousDeliveryStrategy">
</deliveryStrategy>

<producerConfig>ssl.truststore.location=path_to_jks </producerConfig>
<producerConfig>ssl.truststore.password=PASSWORD </producerConfig>
<producerConfig>ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm=</producerConfig>
<producerConfig>ssl.protocol=TLSv1.1</producerConfig>

For any existing topic, I get an error:

12:05:49.505 [kafka-producer-network-thread | host-default-logback] route: DEBUG o.a.k.clients.producer.KafkaProducer breadcrumbId: - [Producer clientId=host-default-logback] Exception occurred during message send:
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Topic TEST_TOPIC_FOR_OS not present in metadata after 100 ms.

The application itself works correctly with this kafka and topic


Solution

  • The problem went away with the upgrade of appender to 0.2.0
