feature request: ssl support for check_kafka (already supported in the Scala version at https://github.com/HariSekhon/Nagios-Plugin-Kafka)

[KlavsKlavsen]

It would be nice with an option for SSL support options - supporting adding this to KafkaConsumer and KafkaProducer class..
security_protocol='SSL',
ssl_check_hostname=True,
ssl_cafile='CARoot.pem',
ssl_certfile='certificate.pem',
ssl_keyfile='key.pem')

[HariSekhon]

SSL is actually already supported in the Scala version found at

https://github.com/harisekhon/nagios-plugin-kafka

You might just need to recompile it for the version of Kafka you have.

I'll leave this on the backlog for the Python and Perl versions.
