title: Possible to export Spring metrics from Micrometer to Kafka?
body: <p>I am playing around with Spring Boot v2 at the moment. So far, my set up looks like this:
  Spring -> Telegraf -> Kafka -> Telegraf -> influx</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering whether or not it's possible to take out the the first telegraf inbetween Spring and Kafka, so something like this:
  Spring -> Kafka -> Telegraf -> Influx</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at the configurations of micrometer and there is no config for Kafka. Also, telegraf was pulling data from Spring.. and as Kafka is a push model (i.e. you are pushing data into Kafka), would Spring be able to push data to Kafka? If yes, how? Through the use of HTTP POST methods? </p>
  
  <p>New to the whole concept.</p>
