after i tried to start kafka connector using sudo systemctl start kafka-connector but it is showing error like failed to start kafka-connect.service UNit kafka-connect.service not found

did you check the logs with systemctl status kafka-conenctor -l

or /var/log/messages

It is showing like below image

mmh did you name the file

did you reload with

systemctl daemon-reload

yes i saved that kafka-connect.service at systemd

did you execute?

systemctl daemon-reload
