I am trying to build realtime dashboard in kibana for monitoring jmeter non-gui tests. Due to the scale of the enterprise and security policy any data flows to elastic search should be streamed via kafka. I am aware of jmeter direct integration with ELK stack using backend listener. In the current environment I need to integrate jmeter with kafka to stream real time test metrics to a topic, which will then flow down to Elastic search. Is there any existing listener/plugins to achieve jmeter-kafka integration? or any thought process how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!!

Please note there are couple of samplers for load testing kafka and I am not discussing about it. The problem statement is listener to stream jmeter realtime test results to kafka.
