Kafka Sink Connector to RabbitMq not seeing any messages process

[Seth Jacobson]

Hi,

I'm new to data streaming and RabbitMQ and am doing a PoC for SqlServer -> Redpanda -> RabbitMQ to handle changes in the database being emitted to our system as messages in Rabbit. I've got the front-end set up and see messages in the Redpanda topics, but not seeing those end up in the Rabbit queues. I've set up a sink connector from Redpanda to Rabbit and have it all configured properly, I believe, as the connector establishes a connection, a channel, declares the queue and binds to it. The connector is written in Java (based on jcustenborder and cobolbaby's versions on GitHub), and I'm using the latest client library for Rabbit. 

What are some common pitfalls to watch out for to get a message processed from a Kafka topic into a queue?

Thanks!
