Is it not possible to use / in the client_id for the Kafka output plugin in Filebeat?

[henry.ahn]

Hi, All!

I configured the client.id in Filebeat for Kafka with a / character. However, I encountered the following error:

ERROR	[kafka]	kafka/config.go:287	Invalid kafka configuration: kafka: invalid configuration (ClientID is invalid)

Are there any specific characters that cannot be used in client.id for Kafka in Filebeat?

client.id

The Client ID property is the client name to be used when connecting to the Kafka server. The client name can be up to 255 characters in length, and can include the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, . (dot), _ (underscore), and - (dash).
