Hello Community,

Hope you are doing good in this pandemic.

I want to integrate FileBeat with Kafka, only on IPV6 K8S Cluster.

But I am getting the error " _Failed to connect to broker http://[240b:x:x:x:x:x:x:5001]:32392: dial tcp: address http://[240b:x:x:x:x:x:x:5001]:32392: too many colons in address_"

I am using FileBeat Version 7.0.0.

I assume that FileBeat Kafka Output module is not compatible with IPV6.

**filebeat.yml**

```auto
    filebeat.config:
      modules:
        path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
        reload.enabled: false
    logging.level: debug
    logging.to_files: true
    logging.files:
      path: /usr/share/filebeat/logs
      name: filebeat
      keepfiles: 7
      permissions: 0644
    output.kafka:
     hosts: ["http://240b:x:x:x:x:x:x:5001:32392"]
     topic: TEST-TOPIC

```

ALSO TRIED THIS (But didn't worked for me throwed same error message as above)

filebeat.yml (Replaced IPV6 with the hostname of Kafka server)

```auto
    filebeat.config:
      modules:
        path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
        reload.enabled: false
    logging.level: debug
    logging.to_files: true
    logging.files:
      path: /usr/share/filebeat/logs
      name: filebeat
      keepfiles: 7
      permissions: 0644
    output.kafka:
     **hosts: ["http://kafkahost:32392"]**
     topic: TEST-TOPIC

```

Prompt response is appreciated.

Do let me know if you need any thing else to debug this issue.

Have you tried setting the `hosts` like this?

```auto
     hosts: ["240b:x:x:x:x:x:x:5001:32392"]

```
