New features

Version 2.2.2 of Splunk Connect for Kafka contains the following new features:

  • Fixed an issue where if multiple topics are provided in a list with an intention to write data to a corresponding index, the leading space will cause the mapping to not work and instead of writing to index, Splunk Connect for Kafka will write all messages to the default index (main). For example, in the following list:
    "topics":` "splunk-qs, splunk-abc",
    "splunk.indexes": "index1,index2",
    
    the leading space before splunk-abc will cause the mapping to not work and instead of writing to index2, the connector will write all messages from the splunk-abc topic to the default index (main).
  • Fixed an issue where a thread will not see reflected changes made by another concurrent thread. This led to the potential for events being removed multiple times. This could lead to the total number of events to not be accurate and potentially becoming a negative number.
