Re-forward events & Position to Kafka
Traccar has an option to retry position forwarding, but it stores it in memory.
True. And the configuration settings that I have is acceptable in case of temporary load scenarios.
However, in this situation, my Kafka crashed and it took me some time to restore it, but the positions & events received in the meanwhile are not on my Kafka so I can't process them further.
I checked the code and I'm not seeing any flags / tables where a confirmation is saved if a message is forwarded.
- Is my above assumption correct?
- Is there any other recommendation to re-trigger the forwards?
Yeah, we don't store any flag. And there's no way to re-trigger it.
can you give me an example of forwarding to kafka in config file traccar.xml a have this error message : Connection to node 1 (localhost/127.0.0.1:9093) could not be established. Broker may not be available.
Hello,
I'm forwarding events and positions from Traccar to Kafka. This works well.
When Kafka goes down, obviously Traccar can't forward the message.
Is there a way in which events / positions can be 're-triggered' to be forwarded to Kafka from within Traccar once Kafka comes back up? I am ok with manually re-triggering if needed.
I have fixed the Kafka issue, but there are about 1 full day's worth of messages that I need to be re-sent / forwarded.
Thank you
