+Bro Logging Output to Kafka
+===========================
+
+A Bro log writer that sends logging output to Kafka. This provides a
convenient
+means for tools in the Hadoop ecosystem, such as Storm, Spark, and others,
to
+process the data generated by Bro.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Install librdkafka (https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka), a native
client
+library for Kafka. This plugin has been tested against the latest release
of
+librdkafka, which at the time of this writing is v0.9.4. In order to
support interacting
+with a kerberized kafka, you will need libsasl2 installed
+
+ # curl -L https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/archive/v0.9.4.tar.gz
| tar xvz
+ # cd librdkafka-0.9.4/
+ # ./configure --enable-sasl=true
--- End diff --
Small typo. I think it needs to be `./configure --enable-sasl`. Passing
true as an argument causes it to be unhappy.
