Hi,

We're seeing Filebeat getting:

```auto
	kafka/log.go:53	producer/broker/1036 state change to [closing] because write tcp 10.200.1.158:49334->10.200.3.121:9092: i/o timeout

```

This causes Filebeat to re-connect to Kafka brokers and reduce speed.  
Anyone with a solution or a way to debug?

Hi @Or_Arnon,

Is any event successfully sent or all connections to Kafka fail?

All events are sent. However, we do get these timeouts which forces Filebeat to re-discover all partitions.
