I want to use kafka as a transport layer for collectd. I found that there is a write_kafka plugin for collectd, which sends all the gathered metrics to a kafka topic.

My intention was to have a few hosts as collectors (working as a kafka consumer groups) to get those metrics off the topic, and put them into a time-series database (influxdb or graphite).

collectd doesn't have a kafka consumer input plugin. graphite can't read kafka directly either (I think?). What piece of software am I missing here?

Here is a Kafka consumer for InfluxDB written in Python: https://github.com/mre/kafka-influxdb
