Kafka provides input and output byte rate. Does metricbeat capture that?

Hi @amitavmohanty01,

Metricbeat doesn't capture these metrics at the moment, could you [open an enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md) for that with any detail you can give?

Thanks!
