+== Message Level Headers
+
+Certain sink components offer additional configuration and adjustment of
behavior by setting specific headers on the message sent via Kafka. For example
the file sink connector allows the user to set the file name either via the
configuration property or via the header `CamelHeader.CamelFileName`. This is
usually noted on the connector documentation, but as a rule of thumb, users are
advised to also check the Camel components documentation to verify what message
headers are available.
+If they are available, to configure them directly from your Kafka producer,
you can append them with the string `CamelHeader.` (i.e.:
`CamelHeader.CamelFileName`, `CamelHeader.CamelFilePath`, etc) and include them
on the message headers from Kafka.
