:description: How to use OpenNMS sink to route events to a specific topic on Kafka/ActiveMQ in Horizon/Meridian.

Events can also be created by routing them to a specific topic on Kafka/ActiveMQ.

The topic name should be of the form `OpenNMS.Sink.Events` where `OpenNMS` is the default instance ID of {page-component-title}.
The instance ID is configurable through a system property `org.opennms.instance.id`.
