titleKafka Session Support

The FIX Client Simulator 3.11 release introduces Kafka session integration, supporting existing features - the Send Message TabAuto-increment and Replay Logs to work seamlessly with Kafka.


The FCS Kafka session supports the following functionality:

  • Producer & Consumer Creation
    • Configure topics, groups, optional keys, and more.
  • Authentication & SSL/TLS
    • Supports SASL/Plain (username/password) or no authentication.
    • Optional SSL/TLS encryption with the ability to validate certificates.
    • User can send or receive a FIX message or arbitrary text (non-FIX content) via Kafka sessions.
    • FIX-specific features (like the context-driven workflows, validation, and auto-increment) are supported but require proper FIX tag=value formatting.
    • Automatically increment fields (e.g., sequence numbers) in FIX messages, just like in FIX sessions.
    • Replay FIX message logs using Kafka session, facilitating troubleshooting, performance review, and re-testing.
