Send application monitoring events via kafka topic to Instana

data ingestion/consumption to Instana from Kafka Producers.
Use case is that application like ibm biz hub is producing and propagating monitoring data via kafka topic and Instana could be used for monitoring via kafka topic and also existing agent sensoric service monitoring.
