Hi Saahil,

Please following below link to setup your Host server:
https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart

For Target, please check below steps:

1. Install Docker and Docker compose.
2. Install librdkafka
3. Install gst-nvmsgbrokder and gst-nvmsgconv
4. Build the deepstream-test4-app
5. Run the pipeline:
   $ deepstream-test4-app -i [Video path] -p /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-4.0/lib/libnvds_kafka_proto.so --conn-str=“[Host ip address];9092;metromind-start”

Thanks a lot carolyuu !!

it finally worked out , a few points I would like to add for anyone else who maybe facing the same issue :

1. follow the steps as given on https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart to setup your host BUT you need to make slight changes in the kafka config files on the host(X86) machine :

change the following line in server.properties file placed on kafka/config
1.

zookeeper.connect = [your_X86_machines_IP]:9092

listeners = PLAINTEXT://[your_X86_machine's_IP]:9092

advertised.listeners = PLAINTEXT://[your_X86_machine's_IP]:9092

Also make sure that when you spin up the server or create the topic or spin up the consumer, you replace the localhost with [your_X86_machine’s_IP]
