MSK Connector fails to be created

Question

I am trying to create an MSK connector using kafka-connect-aws-s3-kafka-2-8-4.0.0.zip, but it is stuck in ** Creating...** status and it fails with an unknown error. So a bit about my connector config: I am trying to deploy this Connector in order to sink data from MSK to s3 ( kafka-connect-aws )

here are the connector properties:

connector.class=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.aws.s3.sink.S3SinkConnector
behavior.on.null.values=ignore
s3.region=eu-central-1
flush.size=5
tasks.max=8
topics=MyTopic
s3.part.size=5242880
connect.s3.vhost.bucket=true
schema.enable=false
format.bytearray.separator=\n--==SEPARATOR==--\n
key.converter.schemas.enable=false
connect.s3.kcql=INSERT INTO kafka-connect-aws2:evelin-msk SELECT * FROM MyTopic WITH_FLUSH_INTERVAL = 300
format.class=io.confluent.connect.s3.format.bytearray.ByteArrayFormat
partitioner.class=io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.DefaultPartitioner
value.converter.schemas.enable=false
connect.s3.aws.region=eu-central-1
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter
storage.class=io.confluent.connect.s3.storage.S3Storage
errors.log.enable=true
s3.bucket.name=kafka-connect-aws

Any idea what could be the reason? Please let me know if I need to provide more information

Answer 1

When you create the Kafka connector, you have choice to write the log.

For example, you can write to S3. This should help further locate your issues.
