Start Producer to Send Messages

Start Producer to Send Messages

Using the following command line, you can get the Producer to send messages -

 

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic topic-name

 

You will need to input two parameters here - Broker list or the list of brokers we want to send messages to and the Topic name.

For example, if your broker is on port id - 5467, you can mention it directly. 

 

Therefore, the resulting syntax will look like -

 

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:5467 --topic Hello-Kafka

 

The producer will publish this to the Kafka cluster and every line will be published as a new message by default until it is specified otherwise in the ‘config/producer.properties’ file.
