Module docs:

* http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/omkafka.html
* http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imkafka.html

Disclaimer: I know little (if anything) about Apache Kafka, but I found
the following mentioned in the module docs:

###############################################
confParam [parameter]
Type: Array

Default: none

Permits to specify Kafka options. Rather than offering a myriad of
config settings to match the Kafka parameters, we provide this setting
here as a vehicle to set any Kafka parameter. This has the big advantage
that Kafka parameters that come up in new releases can immediately be used.

Note that we use librdkafka for the Kafka connection, so the parameters
are actually those that librdkafka supports. As of our understanding,
this is a superset of the native Kafka parameters.
###############################################


That bit is the same for both modules. The omkafka module has this in
addition to the above:


###############################################
topicConfParam [parameter]
Type: Array

Default: none

In essence the same as confParam, but for the Kafka topic.
###############################################


I assume that means that you can use the confParam parameter for the
rsyslog imkafka/omkafka modules to pass through native Kafka
parameters/settings.

Hope that helps. If not, I hope that someone with more knowledge of this
module can chime in and assist.
