Introduction

kafka-connect-snmp connector is used to receive SNMP traps and convert them to a record in Kafka.

Supported MPv3 standards are

• MPv1
• MPv2c
• MPv3 (though this requires specific configuration properties below)

See Connectors to Kafka for more info.

Configuration

kafka-connect-snmp can be configured with properties or using Strimzi CRD properties with either KafkaConnect or KafkaConnector CRD.
