hey if anyones there, I need to write a sensor that for the time being just needs to read a pcap file and send it to my kafka server. im new to all of this as im currently an intern, boss said i might need to send it to kafka as json. after reading the pcap what do i need to do to it before sending it to kafka so kafka can make sense of it?
MrScout
It would seem like you need to parse the pcap file so you can serialize it as json
You probably want to send each packet as a thrift message
Foxeh-
ok he did mention parsing the pcap so ill work on that, what exactly do you mean by thrift message? havnt heard that before
MrScout
uuhhhhh
json
sorry, thrift on the brain
Foxeh-
no worries, thanks its nice to have people active, some of the other help channels im in i never get a responce haha
