How to connect Kafka to Apache OpenWhisk Feed Provider - Trigger, Rule and Action and Activation #5573

Hi Team,

I’m trying to launch Apache OpenWhisk actions using Kafka, but I’m running into an issue and could use some help.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Connected Kafka to the OpenWhisk Feed Provider

Created a Trigger, Rule, and Action

Sent data to the Kafka topic using Console Exporter

The problem:
I’m not seeing any activation records when messages are published to Kafka.

What’s confusing is that:

If I trigger the action directly via the OpenWhisk API, everything works as expected

Activation records are created and visible in that case

So it seems like the issue is specifically with the Kafka → Feed Provider → Trigger pipeline.

Has anyone noticed something similar or knows what might be going wrong? Any pointers on debugging this would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
