Kafka send to azure event hub - apache-kafka

Question

I've set up a kafka in my machine and I'm trying to set up Mirror Maker to consume from a local topic and mirror it to an azure event hub, but so far i've been unable to do it and I get the following error:
ERROR Error when sending message to topic dev-eh-kafka-test with key: null, value: 5 bytes with error: (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
After some time I realized that this must be the producer part so I tried to simply use the kafka-console-producer tool directly to event hub and got the same error.
Here is my producer settings file:
bootstrap.servers=dev-we-eh-feed.servicebus.windows.net:9093
compression.type=none
max.block.ms=0
# for event hub
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="$ConnectionString" password="Endpoint=sb://dev-we-eh-feed.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=*****”;
Here is the command to spin the producer:
kafka-console-producer.bat --broker-list dev-we-eh-feed.servicebus.windows.net:9093 --topic dev-eh-kafka-test
My event hub namespace has an event hub named dev-eh-kafka-test.
Has anyone been able to do it? Eventually the idea would be to SSL this with a certificate but first I need to be able to do the connection.
I tried using both Apacha Kafka 1.1.1 or the Confluent Kafka 4.1.3 (because this is the version the client is using).
==== UPDATE 1
Someone showed me how to get more logs and this seems to be the detailed version of the error

Answer 1

So here is the configuration that worked (it seems I was missing client.id).
Also, it seems you can not choose the destination topic, it seems it must have the same name as the source...
bootstrap.servers=dev-we-eh-feed.servicebus.windows.net:9093
client.id=mirror_maker_producer
request.timeout.ms=60000
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="$ConnectionString" password="Endpoint=sb://dev-we-eh-feed.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=******";
