Hello all,

I have active Metricbeat kafka Module and configurer file /module.d/kafka.yml and metricbeat.yml.  
but i want to add configuration to this file, to permit authentification using Jaas.

It's possible to add jass configuration to kafka.yml, if yes how to do it.

thanks

_ **Metricbeat.yml :** _

========================== Modules configuration ============================  
metricbeat.modules:

- module: kafka  
metricsets: ["consumergroup","partition"]  
period: 10s  
hosts: ["localhost:6667"]

**/module.d/kafka.yml**

- module: kafka  
metricsets:
  - partition
  - consumergroup  
period: 10s  
hosts: ["localhost:6667"]

Hi @Khaled_Chaoued 🙂

`consumergroup` and `partition` metricsets can use plain jaas to authenticate while `broker`, `producer`, `consumer` delegates auth to Jolokia module.

I hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.  
have you an exemple or a link that details this?  
Because i have activate Jolokia module and we don't have possibility to configure jaas.

Regards
