decompress messages?

MattUebel opened this issue · 1 comments

supposing the case where I'm (gzip or the like) compressing messages as they are produced to a topic, Is it possible to decompress those messages before sending to splunk?

It is possible to decompress messages on the broker/topic level. It would compress messages before sending them to the broker and decompress them before feeding them to the consumer or our connector.
