data generator to kafka

[zazizou]

Hi everyone,

I would like to create random GPS positions that in the end I plan to send to a Kafka topic. In a first step I have only use the "logger" producer which worked perfectly, but I am failing to fill the Kafka topic with the same data. I have created a new Kafka topic ("RandomGPS") for this aim and it remains empty.

Here are the producers settings

"producers": [{
"type": "kafka",
"broker.server": "172.17.0.3",
"broker.port": 9092,
"topic": "RandomGPS",
"flatten": true,
"sync": true
},{
"type":"logger"
}]

Is there something I am missing ? Thanks for your help.
