Hi,

I have used the CentOS repository and installed rsyslog-kafka, however,
when I try to configure as explained in the docs, I get the following
error:

rsyslogd: version 8.9.0.ad1, config validation run (level 1), master config
/etc/rsyslog.conf
rsyslogd: module name 'omkafka' is unknown [v8.9.0.ad1 try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2209 ]
rsyslogd: error during parsing file /etc/rsyslog.d/kafkatest.conf, on or
before line 10: errors occured in file '/etc/rsyslog.d/kafkatest.conf'
around line 10 [v8.9.0.ad1 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 ]

The configuration looks like this (i.e. directly from the docs):

action(type="omkafka" topic="mytopic"
confParam=["compression.codec=snappy"])

Is it possible that there is something wrong with the rsyslog-kafka RPM
package? I have tried to reinstall it several times without getting any
closer
