Hi all,  
Recently, I got into a problem that Logstash Kafka plugin does not consume data. Below is my config file:  
input {  
kafka {  
auto\_offset\_reset =\> "earliest"  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "[kafka-proxy-1.phx02.dev.company.com:9092](http://kafka-proxy-1.phx02.dev.company.com:9092)"  
client\_id =\> "c77b9282-8017-46a1-9d6e-0e6fe93f1c28"  
consumer\_threads =\> 1  
enable\_auto\_commit =\> "true"  
group\_id =\> "gro.out.nadeals"  
topics =\> "tora.out.gro.na.deals.test"  
partition\_assignment\_strategy =\> "org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.RoundRobinAssignor"  
}  
}

output {  
stdout { }  
}

and I enabled the debug , get below information, and then Pushing flush onto pipeline is looping again and again.

[2017-10-26T23:18:15,824][DEBUG][logstash.agent] Trying to start WebServer {:port=\>9619}  
[2017-10-26T23:18:15,825][DEBUG][logstash.api.service] [api-service] start

[2017-10-26T23:18:20,752][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline  
[2017-10-26T23:18:25,756][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline  
[2017-10-26T23:18:30,759][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline

Anyone help?
