{
    "name": "jr-quickstart",
    "config": {
        "connector.class": "io.jrnd.kafka.connect.connector.JRSourceConnector",
        "template": "net_device",
        "topic": "net_device",
        "frequency": 5000,
        "objects": 5,
        "tasks.max": 1
    }
}

Run the following command to create the connector:
```
kcctl create -f <filename>.json

`value.converter`	One between `org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.json.JsonSchemaConverter` or `io.confluent.connect.protobuf.ProtobufConverter`	org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
`value.converter.schema.registry.url`	Only if `value.converter` is set to `io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.json.JsonSchemaConverter` or `io.confluent.connect.protobuf.ProtobufConverter`. URL for Schema Registry.
`key.converter`	One between `org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.json.JsonSchemaConverter` or `io.confluent.connect.protobuf.ProtobufConverter`	org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
`key.converter.schema.registry.url`	Only if `key.converter` is set to `io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter`, `io.confluent.connect.json.JsonSchemaConverter` or `io.confluent.connect.protobuf.ProtobufConverter`. URL for Schema Registry.
