   "name":"SensorReading",
   "namespace":"com.cloudera.example",
   "doc":"This is a sample sensor reading",
   "fields":[
      {
         "name":"sensor_id",
         "doc":"Sensor identification number.",
         "type":"int"
      },
      {
         "name":"sensor_ts",
         "doc":"Timestamp of the collected readings.",
         "type":"long"
      },
      {
         "name":"sensor_0",
         "doc":"Reading #0.",
         "type":"int"
      },
      {
         "name":"sensor_1",
         "doc":"Reading #1.",
         "type":"int"
      },
      {
         "name":"sensor_2",
         "doc":"Reading #2.",
         "type":"int"
      },
      {
         "name":"sensor_3",
         "doc":"Reading #3.",
         "type":"int"
      }
   ]
}

1. From the Management Console, go to Data Hub Clusters and select the Streams Messaging cluster you are using.

2. Select the Streams Messaging cluster from which you want to ingest data.
3. Click the Hardware tab.
4. Note the Kafka Broker FQDNs for each node in your cluster.
5. Construct your Kafka Broker Endpoints by using the FQDN and Port number 9093 separated by a colon. Separate endpoints by a comma. For example:

   broker1.fqdn:9093,broker2.fqdn:9093,broker3.fqdn:9093
