Logstash Unable to renew Kerberos ticket

[burkeg (Pradeep Thalasta)]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup logstash agent with Kafka output that has Kerberos based authentication and uses SASL_SSL mechanism. Logstash agent works fine when started but fails to renew Kerberos ticket.

I've configured the jaas with following properties

    KafkaClient {
         com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
         useKeyTab=true
         keyTab="service.keytab"
         storeKey=true
         useTicketCache=true
         serviceName="kafka"
         principal="<principal>";
        };

logstash config:

     input {
      file {
        path => ["test"]
      }
    }
    output {
      kafka {
            topic_id => "<topic>"
            bootstrap_servers => "<broker>"
            compression_type => "snappy"
            jaas_path => "jaas.conf"
            kerberos_config => "/etc/krb5.conf"
            sasl_kerberos_service_name => "kafka"
            security_protocol => "SASL_SSL"
            client_id => "client"
            ssl_truststore_location => "truststore.jks"
            ssl_truststore_password => "<password>"
        }
    }

Java version:

     openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.8+10-post-Ubuntu-0ubuntu118.04.1)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.8+10-post-Ubuntu-0ubuntu118.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

logstash version: 7.9.2

How can I make sure that logstash is renewing the ticket before it is expired?
