when i had the following input in logstash with the following specified, stdout { codec =\> rubydebug { metadata =\> true } } i would be able to see all the logs that logstash was processing.

input {  
redis {  
host =\> "localhost"  
data\_type =\> "list"  
key =\> "filebeat"  
}  
}

I switched my input to this and now im not able to see the logs that are getting processed by logstash,

input {  
kafka {  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "localhost:9092"  
codec =\> "json"  
topics =\> "logstash"  
auto\_offset\_reset =\> "earliest"  
decorate\_events =\> true  
}  
}

the logs are making it to elasticsearch because i see them in kibana and I am using the following logstash version, logstash-6.3.0-1
