Hi...I create a Java producer using avro in kafka topic....but when I try to read the topic using logstash...its giving empty messages....my confi file is given below...

input {  
kafka {  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "localhost:9092"  
topics =\> ["madhu"]  
codec =\> avro {  
schema\_uri =\> "/usr/share/logstash/bin/Customer.avsc"  
}  
}  
}  
output {

stdout {  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
codec =\> json\_lines  
index =\> "sammy"  
}  
}

Any idea...where I am wrong...

Thanks
