Kafka handler supports connectivity to Microsoft Azure Event Hubs.

To connect to the Microsoft Azure Event Hubs:

1. For more information about connecting to Microsoft Azure Event Hubs, see Quickstart: Data streaming with Event Hubs using the Kafka protocol.

2. Update the Kafka Producer Configuration file as follows to connect to Micrososoft Azure Event Hubs using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols:

   bootstrap.servers=NAMESPACENAME.servicebus.windows.net:9093
   security.protocol=SASL_SSL
   sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
   sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="$ConnectionString" password="{YOUR.EVENTHUBS.CONNECTION.STRING}";

   See Kafka Producer Configuration File.

Connectivity to the Azure Event Hubs cannot be routed through a proxy server. Therefore, when you run Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA) on premise to push data to Azure Event Hubs, you need to open your firewall to allow connectivity.
