Input and output integration overview
<p>This plugin allows you to gather metrics from Kafka topics in real-time, enhancing data monitoring and collection capabilities within your Telegraf setup.</p>
<p>The Microsoft Fabric plugin writes metrics to Real time analytics in Fabric services, enabling powerful data storage and analysis capabilities.</p>
Integration details
Kafka
<p>The Kafka Telegraf plugin is designed to read data from Kafka topics and create metrics using supported input data formats. As a service input plugin, it listens continuously for incoming metrics and events, differing from standard input plugins that operate at fixed intervals. This particular plugin can utilize features from various Kafka versions and is capable of consuming messages from specified topics, applying configurations such as security credentials using SASL, and managing message processing with options for message offsets and consumer groups. The flexibility of this plugin allows it to handle a wide array of message formats and use cases, making it a valuable asset for applications relying on Kafka for data ingestion.</p>
Microsoft Fabric
<p>This plugin allows you to leverage Microsoft Fabric’s capabilities to store and analyze your Telegraf metrics. Eventhouse is a high-performance, scalable data-store designed for real-time analytics. It allows you to ingest, store and query large volumes of data with low latency. The plugin supports both events and metrics with versatile grouping options. It provides various configuration parameters including connection strings specifying details like the data source, ingestion types, and which tables to use for storage. With support for streaming ingestion and event streams, this plugin enables seamless integration and data flow into Microsoft’s analytics ecosystem, allowing for rich data querying capabilities and near-real-time processing.</p>

Input and output integration examples
Kafka
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Real-Time Data Processing</strong>: Use the Kafka plugin to feed live data from a Kafka topic into a monitoring system. This can be particularly useful for applications that require instant feedback on performance metrics or user activity, allowing businesses to react more swiftly to changing conditions in their environments.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Dynamic Metrics Collection</strong>: Leverage this plugin to dynamically adjust the metrics being captured based on events occurring within Kafka. For instance, by integrating with other services, users can have the plugin reconfigure itself on-the-fly, ensuring relevant metrics are always collected according to the needs of the business or application.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Centralized Logging and Monitoring</strong>: Implement a centralized logging system using the Kafka Consumer Plugin to aggregate logs from multiple services into a unified monitoring dashboard. This setup can help identify issues across different services and improve overall system observability and troubleshooting capabilities.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Anomaly Detection System</strong>: Combine Kafka with machine learning algorithms for real-time anomaly detection. By constantly analyzing streaming data, this setup can automatically identify unusual patterns, triggering alerts and mitigating potential issues more effectively.</p> </li> </ol>
Microsoft Fabric
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Real-time Monitoring Dashboards</strong>: Utilize the Microsoft Fabric plugin to feed live metrics from your applications into a real-time dashboard on Microsoft Fabric. This allows teams to visualize key performance indicators instantly, enabling quick decision-making and timely responses to performance issues.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Automated Data Ingestion from IoT Devices</strong>: Use this plugin in scenarios where metrics from IoT devices need to be ingested into Azure for analysis. Using the plugin’s capabilities, data can be streamed continuously, facilitating real-time analytics and reporting without complex coding efforts.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Cross-Platform Data Aggregation</strong>: Leverage the plugin to consolidate metrics from multiple systems and applications into a single Azure Data Explorer table. This use case enables easier data management and analysis by centralizing disparate data sources within a unified analytics framework.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Enhanced Event Transformation Workflows</strong>: Integrate the plugin with Eventstreams to facilitate real-time event ingestion and transformation. By configuring different metrics and partition keys, users can manipulate the flow of data as it enters the system, allowing for advanced processing before the data reaches its final destination.</p> </li> </ol>
