Hi

Currently I have defined kafka as input in logstash but I want to take input from kafka avro consumer (avro-console-consumer) .

Below is my current config  
input {  
kafka {  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "kafka:9092"  
topics =\> ["ecomdb.cscart\_db.cscart\_orders"]  
codec =\> plain { charset=\>"UTF-8" }  
}  
stdin {  
codec =\> plain { charset =\> "UTF-8"}  
}  
}

Thanks,  
Saurabh
