Hello,
I'm trying to connect Kafka to logastash by making kafka input in logstash config file ,but i'm confused with kafka bootstrap\_servers who is hosted in hortonworks platform .
In ambari UI is mentioned that kafka listen on port 6667 but in Elastic documentation is mentioned port number 9092.
Thanks.

Hi,
This is what i got in the error message with 9092 and 6667 ports .
[2018-11-21T15:27:22,972][WARN][org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient] [Consumer clientId=logstash-0, groupId=logstash] Connection to node -1 could not be established. Broker may not be available.
