Step 4: Consuming data

Run the consumer

You have performed all necessary preparations in the previous step:

  • The tenant and instance configuration already describes your platform-deployment

  • The SASL credentials are already in place

  • The truststore which contains your tenant’s certificate is already installed

We’ll run the remaining examples in the src/main/java/io/axual/examples/kafka/sasl directory: the consumers.

Open the KafkaClientSASLAvroConsumer.java and run the main method. Check the logs: you should see some events we just produced.

Optional

If you performed the optional parts in the previous steps, you may also run the KafkaClientSASLStringConsumer.java now, in order to consume string-formatted events from a different topic.
