Demo to show how to connect data in Kafka to InfluxDB using Telegraf.

docker-compose up

Wait for 30 seconds for the spew of logs to stop.

1. Send some data:

docker exec -i kafkacat kafkacat -b broker:9092 -P -t telegraf <<EOF
{"metric": "weather", "tags": {"location": "Sydney", "season": "spring"}, "temperature": 20, "timestamp": "$(date +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")"}
EOF

2. Navigate to <YOURMACHINE>:8086 and login with username: my-user and password: my-password. Check the data in the bucket my-bucket and you'll see a measurement in there for weather.
