Some question about test4 using kafka

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) GeForce GTX 1050
• DeepStream Version 5.0
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)
• TensorRT Version 7.0
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only) 440.100

Hi,

We are running test4 using kafka, we followed README in test4 but error occured, we use command:

deepstream-test4-app -i /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h264.mp4 -p /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/lib/libnvds_kafka_proto.so --conn-str= “add;port;test”

and it returned:

Now playing: /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h264.mp4
Running…
ERROR from element nvmsg-broker: Could not configure supporting library.
Error details: gstnvmsgbroker.c(332): gst_nvmsgbroker_start (): /GstPipeline:dstest4-pipeline/GstNvMsgBroker:nvmsg-broker:
unable to connect to broker library

Did you follow sources/libs/amqp_protocol_adaptor/README to setup amqp server?

Well, we are trying to use KAFKA instead of AMQP, shall we follow sources/libs/amqp_protocol_adaptor/README to setup amqp server?

Actually, we followed sources/libs/kafka_protocol_adaptor/README, and we run ./test_sample_proto_sync, it shows:

(base) xxx:/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/sources/libs/kafka_protocol_adaptor$ ./test_kafka_proto_sync
Refer to nvds log file for log output
send [0] completed
send [1] completed
send [2] completed
send [3] completed
send [4] completed

And we run ./test_sample_proto_async, it shows:

(base) xxx:/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/sources/libs/kafka_protocol_adaptor$ ./test_kafka_proto_async
Refer to nvds log file for log output
/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-NVDS_VERSION/lib/libnvds_kafka_proto.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now type ‘make’ to build

We don not know whether it matters. BTW, we did not download JAVA as it not mentioned in the README.

And when I run: gst-inspect-1.0 nvmsgbroker

(base) xxx:/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/sources/libs/kafka_protocol_adaptor/librdkafka$ gst-inspect-1.0 nvmsgbroker
no such component or plug-in‘nvmsgbroker’

Oh, sorry, seen as amqp, yes, you should refer to kafka readme, sources/libs/kafka_protocol_adaptor/README.
It’s strange you could run with sync test, but failed with async test. they connect to same broker.

Can you find /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libnvdsgst_msgbroker.so

We are using a pc with x86_64-linux-gnu and we don not have a dir named aarch64-linux-gpu.

Oh, you run from x86, then need to change the dir accordingly.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream

Hi, we found this dir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream, and yes it has libnvdsgst_msgbroker.so. “need to change the dir accordingly”, does it mean we need to change the dir in some places? If so, where should we change?

Hi, we have solved this problem. Just re-build the librdkafka and it works now.
Thank you!

Thanks for let us knowing.
