Reporting in Connect</a></h4>
+
+ <p>Kafka Connect provides error reporting for errors encountered along
various stages of processing in Kafka Connect. A connector can be configured to
enable log reporting, which logs the error context along with the standard
application logs, as well as to enable dead letter queue reporting (within sink
connectors only), which will write the original record (from the Kafka topic
the sink connector is consuming from) into a configurable Kafka topic.
Configuring these reporters will enable for automatic error reporting along
both the conversion and transformation stages of Connect. For error reporting
for records after they reach the connector, the <code>Errant Record
Reporter</code> must be implemented within the specific connector along with
the configuration.</p>
