What you are showing is an input from Kafka, not an output, which is what the title of the thread mentions. Please provide some more details around what you are trying to do, what you have tried so far and exactly what is not working, as this will make it easier for the community to assist.

Please format you config as it will make it a lot easier to read. What version of Kafka are you using?
