Hi Forum
We have a filebeat instance that uses the kafka input to read from a topic.
The instance is able to connect to the topic, but the output of the "message" key is incomplete, and full of Unicode characters see the below example.
"message": "\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0004Hfe4b2fd2-fd86-4b0e-a157-3ec3dc98f1b0\u0000\ufffd\u0001ebc0604a2673385a3b10b5a02ed4bbaf8c0135658efce5d7b3c4096a2c8f49f0Vsplit_ICC_head_orientation_90_90_mask_train\u0004{}\u0002\nOwner\u001cMyuser\u0000\ufffd\u0001129f6167512d54e6db7f32f2cf38319e10c5868bc49780208d24158b32b40f72\ufffd\u0001FA30_NIR__2021-11-18_15-21-51__Session_2.dmp_00000283_017d69b727_0.tiffVsplit_ICC_head_orientation_90_90_mask_train\u0006ICM${"pairs":"1 5053"}"
The source message have a "operation" key/value that is not shown in the message above so it is missing.
Any idea why the message content is full of the unicode characters?
Other kafka consumers show the message as a json string representation.
Thanks in advance
