Im using logstash kafka input plugin, but it does not retrieve data from kafka topic. Logstash log shows the following messages:

**Adding newly assigned partitions**  
**Setting offset for partition to the committed offset FetchPosition\<offset=0, offsetEpoch=optional.empty, currentLeader=LeaderAndEpoch, epoch=absent ....**

It does not retrieve data from kafka topic.

Please advise...
