Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to connect Elastic Agents to Logstash through Kafka.

Elastic Agent -\> **Kafka** \<- Logstash -\> Elasticsearch

I have already read the documentation and I don't understant what means "Under consideration":

It means that it is not supported, but they are considering to add that feature in a future release.

But this does not mean that they will add the feature, you will need to wait to see if the feature is added or not, so at the moment it is not possible to output from Elastic Agent to Kafka.

Okey,

Hope this functionality will be able soon.

Cheers!
