The Kafka batch collection agent consumes messages from Kafka. A batch will be forwarded when the configured batch size has been reached, or when the hardcoded timeout of 5 seconds has been reached.
Note!
The workflow will remain running when all messages have been consumed and will wait for more messages. You can stop the workflow from Desktop Online, mzcli commands, or the operations REST interface. The stop will be delayed for 5 seconds.
