Hello,

Logstash version is 7.9 and kafka version is 2.5.0

could you please confirm that can we change the below parameter in kafka input plugin?

> allow.auto.create.topics (default is true)  
> group.instance.id (default is null)

we could not find any reference in [Kafka input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-kafka.html)
