[PLUG] Sending a Kafka topic to syslog?

[JP Vossen via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I may have a $WORK need to push a Kafka topic to syslog, or really 
Syslog-NG if it matters.  But any time I try to Google for that I only 
find the opposite: sending syslog into Kafka!

I did find 
https://leroyer.io/posts/2019-05-26-output-kafka-logs-to-syslog/ from 
2019 that talks about sending Kafka logs to syslog using `log4j`, but I 
wonder if that really means Kafka _logs_, as in server logs, and not 
"topics."

I don't have any of the sending side toys yet, we're trying to figure 
out if that next step is even worth it.

I'd *really* rather push from the Kafka topic/node to the remote syslog 
loghost, ideally over TCP/514 or some similar port.  If I absolutely 
have to I can probably do a pull from the syslog side, but I'd much 
rather not.  Simpler is also better, I'd rather not have to increase my 
dependencies and attack surface with a lot of extra cruft.

Any clues?  TIA,
JP
