The customers are asking if we have any method to connect Thingworx and kafka. I checked my support site, and only find two cases about that.

https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Write-data-to-kafka-from-thingworx/td-p/588808?art_lang=en&posno=2&q=thingworx%20kafka&source=search

and 

https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Is-there-a-case-and-connection-method-for-ThingWorx-kafka/m-p/527816#M21670

But both were created in 2017. Is there any new case or technical update about Thingworx - Kafka connection?

  • Resolution
    Kafka connector extension currently not available at PTC Marketplace
    This extension development still not in our Roadmap

 

2. KafkaThing extension: https://github.com/ptc-iot-sharing/KafkaThing

Quote: "This extension demonstrates the ability to send/receive messages from a Kafka broker using Thingworx".

    Thank you Vladimir. I would test the extension with customer next week and to see if it could be a sample to help them developing their own extension.
