When using camel-consul-kafka-connector as sink make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for the connector:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-consul-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>
----

To use this Sink connector in Kafka connect you'll need to set the following connector.class

[source,java]
----
connector.class=org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.consul.CamelConsulSinkConnector
----


The camel-consul sink connector supports 49 options, which are listed below.

|===
| Name | Description | Default | Required | Priority
| *camel.sink.path.apiEndpoint* | The API endpoint | null | true | HIGH
| *camel.sink.endpoint.connectTimeout* | Connect timeout for OkHttpClient | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.connectTimeoutMillis* | Connect timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use connectTimeout instead | null | false | LOW
| *camel.sink.endpoint.consulClient* | Reference to a com.orbitz.consul.Consul in the registry. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.key* | The default key. Can be overridden by CamelConsulKey | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.pingInstance* | Configure if the AgentClient should attempt a ping before returning the Consul instance | true | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.readTimeout* | Read timeout for OkHttpClient | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.readTimeoutMillis* | Read timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use readTimeout instead | null | false | LOW
| *camel.sink.endpoint.tags* | Set tags. You can separate multiple tags by comma. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.url* | The Consul agent URL | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.writeTimeout* | Write timeout for OkHttpClient | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.writeTimeoutMillis* | Write timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use writeTimeout instead | null | false | LOW
| *camel.sink.endpoint.action* | The default action. Can be overridden by CamelConsulAction | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.lazyStartProducer* | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.valueAsString* | Default to transform values retrieved from Consul i.e. on KV endpoint to string. | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.consistencyMode* | The consistencyMode used for queries, default ConsistencyMode.DEFAULT One of: [DEFAULT] [STALE] [CONSISTENT] | "DEFAULT" | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.datacenter* | The data center | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.nearNode* | The near node to use for queries. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.nodeMeta* | The note meta-data to use for queries. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.synchronous* | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.aclToken* | Sets the ACL token to be used with Consul | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.password* | Sets the password to be used for basic authentication | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.sslContextParameters* | SSL configuration using an org.apache.camel.support.jsse.SSLContextParameters instance. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.sink.endpoint.userName* | Sets the username to be used for basic authentication | null | false | MEDIUM

| *camel.component.consul.valueAsString* | Default to transform values retrieved from Consul i.e. on KV endpoint to string. | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.consul.autowiredEnabled* | Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. | true | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.consul.configuration* | Consul configuration | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.consul.consistencyMode* | The consistencyMode used for queries, default ConsistencyMode.DEFAULT One of: [DEFAULT] [STALE] [CONSISTENT] | "DEFAULT" | false | MEDIUM
