Closed vivekrscode closed 9 years ago

vivekrscode commented 9 years ago

Hello

I have Configured Manual install of our log stash-kafka

My Logstash Configuration is running ., But it throws Following Exception as

"kafka producer threw exception, restarting {:exception=>java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to [B, :level=>:warn}"

I'm not able to configure using "make tar ball"

Could help me to figure out my issue :) And also there is no example case of kakfa input & kafka output case just parameters explained ., Please help me to figure out the issues as soon as possible Thanks :)

This sounds similar to issue #28. The fix was unclear but it was reported that he ran make tarball and then adjusted his outputs config. Could you please post your config? On Jan 19, 2015 5:31 AM, "Vivek Soundararajan R" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi,

I've revamped the manual install for the plugin and it is much more failsafe now. Please reinstall logstash and then try https://github.com/joekiller/logstash-kafka#rubygems-logstash-kafka-install

It is probably best if you rm -rf /opt/logstash after you yum remove logstash or apt-get remove logstash, etc.
