Stream OS system metrics as events through Kafka to PostgreSql DB.

Java application running in a docker container. Currently it only sends a single message to the os-metrics topic of the Kafka cloud service.

Java application running in a docker container. Currently it only subscribes to the os-metrics topic on the cloud Kafka instance and prints the messages to system out. It also makes a connection to the PostgreSQL cloud service.

• Install docker
• Install direnv

Java applications rely on some environment variable. direnv is used here.

Create a .envrc file in root dir and fill it based on the example.envrc template. Here's a sample .envrc file:

export KAFKA_SERVICE_URI=<kafka_hostname>:<kafka_port>
export KAFKA_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<kafka_keystore_password_having_at_least_6_characters>
export POSTGRES_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://<pg_hostnane>:<pg_port>/<pg_db_name>
export POSTGRES_DB_USER=<pg_user>
export POSTGRES_DB_PASSWORD=<pg_password>
export SSL_KEY_PASSWORD=<password_used_to_generate_the_kafka_ssl_keystore>

• For Kafka ssl configuration put the service.cert, service.key, ca.pem files inside the certs folder
• For postgresql ssl configuration put the jdbc_ca.pem file inside the same certs folder
• Fill a .envrc file based on the example.envrc, then run direnv allow .
• Run ./fireup-consumer.sh to build and start the Kafka consumer
• Run ./fireup-producer.sh to build and start the Kafka producer

This is work in progress. TODOs can be found in issues.
