I have been unsuccessful in Ingesting Logs from Kafka topic with Logstash 6.6.2. I have successfully pushed the logs to Kafka topic using Filebeat 6.5.4.

Here is my Logstash config:

input {  
kafka {  
topics =\> ["wazuh-alerts"]  
#consumer\_threads =\> 4  
group\_id =\> "tasdasdsadasd"  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "localhost:9092"  
codec =\> json\_lines  
auto\_offset\_reset =\> "earliest"  
}  
}

output{  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
file { path =\> "test.txt" }

}

I have deleted all other filters in case they were causing problems. Please help.
