Example

You run the IT department of a major bank that has millions of customers. You want to monitor network activity in real time. You need to collect network activity data from various sources such as firewalls or network devices to improve security and prevent attacks. The network activity data includes Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and failed login attempts made by customers. The network activity data is written to Kafka queues.
You can use Kafka Connector to read network activity data from Kafka topics in JSON format and write the data to a target for processing the network activity data.
