Hi Yong, is this not an option Kafka Connect | Confluent ? Currently as far as I know this is not something available OOTB, may be someone here has more on this.

There is nothing OOTB available. However, you can customize to use Kafka by writing an agent. We did this for a demo over three years back to push data from Kepware to Kafka to Thingworx.

Thanks,

Varathan

Hi Varathan~~

Could you share the knowledge how to connect with Kafka and demo deliverable such as extension, Edge SDK?

Thanks

We tried to read the Kafka Que post it to ThingWorx using REST. It did not work well when you are dealing with high velocity data particularly when you are looking for near real time updates.
