Source for the forwarder is available [here](https://github.com/ess-dmsc/forwarder)

We don't currently run this for every instrument, and need to figure out topology ie. running a central forwarder, one per instrument and so on.
As of IBEX version 25.8.0 we run this on every instrument under the `FWDR` `procserv` name.

### Forwarder on HIFI

HIFI has an instance of the forwarder currently running under procserv within IBEX for the SuperMuSR project.

in `C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\utils\build_ioc_startups.py` we have hotfixed this line:
`ioc_startups.add("FWDR", IocStartup(os.path.join("C:\\", "instrument", "dev", "forwarder"), description="forward epics to kafka", exe="forwarder_launch.bat", iocexe="procServ.exe"))`

to add a Procserv entry that runs it.

HIFI's `ISIS/inst_servers/master/start_bs_to_kafka_cmd.bat` points to the SuperMuSR Redpanda instance rather than the normal `livedata` cluster.
HIFI uses a different broker currently, so we have changed the `KAFKA_BROKER` macro for `BSKAFKA` and `FWDR`. This is currently in `globals.txt`.
