# Kafka Producer Output Plugin
# Kafka Output Plugin
This plugin writes to a [Kafka Broker](http://kafka.apache.org/07/quickstart.html) acting a Kafka Producer.
```
### Configuration:
```toml

brokers = ["localhost:9092"]

### Required parameters:
#### `max_retry`
* `brokers`: List of strings, this is for speaking to a cluster of `kafka` brokers. On each flush interval, Telegraf will randomly choose one of the urls to write to. Each URL should just include host and port e.g. -> `["{host}:{port}","{host2}:{port2}"]`
* `topic`: The `kafka` topic to publish to.
This option controls the number of retries per message no acknowledgement is
received from the broker before notification of failure is displayed. When
this option greater than `0` can reduce latency and duplicate messages in the
case of transient errors, but may also increase the load on the broker during
periods of downtime.
The option is similar to the
[retries](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#producerconfigs) Producer
option in the Java Kafka Producer.
### Optional parameters:
* `routing_tag`: If this tag exists, its value will be used as the routing key
* `compression_codec`: What level of compression to use: `0` -> no compression, `1` -> gzip compression, `2` -> snappy compression
* `required_acks`: a setting for how may `acks` required from the `kafka` broker cluster.
* `max_retry`: Max number of times to retry failed write
* `ssl_ca`: SSL CA
* `ssl_cert`: SSL CERT
* `ssl_key`: SSL key
* `insecure_skip_verify`: Use SSL but skip chain & host verification (default: false)
* `data_format`: [About Telegraf data formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md)
* `topic_suffix`: Which, if any, method of calculating `kafka` topic suffix to use.
For examples, please refer to sample configuration.
