## Publish MinIO events via Kafka

Install Apache Kafka from [here](http://kafka.apache.org/).

### Step 1: Ensure minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires Kafka version 0.10 or 0.9. Internally MinIO uses the [Shopify/sarama](https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/) library and so has the same version compatibility as provided by this library.

### Step 2: Add Kafka endpoint to MinIO

	HelpKafka = config.HelpKVS{
		config.HelpKV{
			Key:         target.KafkaBrokers,
			Description: "comma separated list of Kafka broker addresses",
			Type:        "csv",
		},
		config.HelpKV{
			Key:         target.KafkaTopic,
			Description: "Kafka topic used for bucket notifications",
			Optional:    true,
			Type:        "string",
		},
		config.HelpKV{

		notify.SetNotifyAMQP(newCfg, k, args)

	for k, args := range cfg.Notify.Elasticsearch {
		notify.SetNotifyES(newCfg, k, args)

	for k, args := range cfg.Notify.MySQL {
		notify.SetNotifyMySQL(newCfg, k, args)

      }
    }
  }
}

### Kafka Target

Assuming that you already have Apache Kafka configured and running.

```
mc admin config set myminio/ audit_kafka
KEY:
audit_kafka[:name]  send audit logs to kafka endpoints

ARGS:
brokers*         (csv)       comma separated list of Kafka broker addresses
topic            (string)    Kafka topic used for bucket notifications

			if err := config.CheckValidKeys(subSysTarget, kv, validKVS); err != nil {
				return err
			}
		}
	}
	return nil
}

// DefaultKafkaKVS - default KV for kafka target
var (
	DefaultKafkaKVS = config.KVS{
		config.KV{
			Key:   config.Enable,
			Value: config.EnableOff,
		},
		config.KV{
			Key:   target.KafkaTopic,
			Value: "",
		},
		config.KV{
