You can use the consumer script to verify that data is being received by the http listener (http_producer) on port 80 of the Kafka broker node.

sudo /usr/local/share/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper [zk-private-ip]:2181 --topic [topic] --from-beginning

If you curl records at the kafka http listener, you should see them come out at the kafka broker node:

(On the Kafka listener node)

curl -XGET localhost:80 -d '{"name":"Bill","position":"Sales"}'
