Setup Kafka Start Event Connector

Hello Everyone!

From service A, I could send a message to a topic (not using Camunda).
From service B, I’m trying to use the Kafka Start Event Connector (got it from connectors/connectors/kafka/element-templates/kafka-inbound-connector.json at release/8.4 · camunda/connectors · GitHub) to consume it but it is not picking up any messages. I have used the same configuration for both services with the truststore jks, password, type, topic, bootstrapserver.
I have added the dependency io.camunda.connector.connector-kafka to service B and deployed the bpmn.

This is my consumer connector configuration

The following service task would log that the message was picked up successfully but I’m not seeing anything or any error messages.

I have found this blogpost https://camunda.com/blog/2023/11/orchestration-camunda-kafka/ which is very similar but I’m not sure what I am missing.

Thank you!
