/etc/td-agent# service td-agent restart

2015-09-24 06:38:28 +0000 [error]: Dry run failed: Unknown output plugin 'kafka'. Run 'gem search -rd fluent-plugin' to find plugins 

The configuration:

<match *.**>
  type                kafka
  zookeeper           10.2.35.50:2181 # Set brokers via Zookeeper

  default_topic       logstash_sin_lbs_vncc
  output_data_type    json
  output_include_tag  true
  output_include_time true
  max_send_retries    3
  required_acks       0
  ack_timeout_ms      1500
  compression_codec   none
</match>

Should I missed any other configuration?

[Zheng Gao]

I works well when use 

# /usr/lib/fluent/ruby/bin/fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-kafka --no-rdoc

instead of 

# gem install fluent-plugin-kafka

Close this issue.

Good.

BTW, you seem to use td-agent 1 but td-agent 1 is old stable.

Please use td-agent 2 instead.
