If you look at the link here, it seems that earlier versions provided the functionality (consumer, producer, broker) in beta.
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.8/metricbeat-module-kafka.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.8/metricbeat-module-kafka.html)
However, if you look at version 6.8 and above, the setting is gone as above. (Only partitions and consumer groups available)
When I put it in the configuration I get this error “metricset 'kafka / producer' is not registered, metricset not found”.
Now I wonder if it doesn't provide consumer, producer, or broker metrics.
Version
- Kafka : 5.3.1-ccs (Docker Image : confluentinc/cp-kafka:5.3.1)
- Metricbeat : 6.8.1

Hello @17earlgrey, with the latest Metricbeat kafka module, we have broker, consumer, consumergroup, partition and producer metricsets. Please see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-kafka.html#\_metricsets\_27](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-kafka.html#_metricsets_27) for more details.
