Use Coralogix Kafka lambdas to seamlessly send Kafka Topics data to Coralogix.

Overview

Many organizations collect important operational and business data in Kafka topics and would like to aggregate, analyze, and correlate it with data collected from other sources, in order to enable a better view of the technology and business stack and improve its management.

Use Coralogix Kafka lambdas to seamlessly send Kafka Topics data to Coralogix with our AWS serverless application repository to gain these desired insights into your data.

Requirements

  • AWS account with permissions to create lambdas and IAM roles
  • A ready-made MSK cluster
  • A ready-made Kafka cluster

STEP 2. Fill in the required parameters

STEP 3. Check this checkbox: “I acknowledge that this app creates custom IAM roles.”

STEP 4. Click Deploy.
