Dear Team,

I am using filebeat agent 7.10.0 and AWS msk in my pipeline.  
I am getting error : Kafka publish failed with: circuit breaker is open and retryer: send unwait signal to consumer.

Please suggest if anyone facing same type of issue and used specific configuration for the same

I am using below configuration for TLS encryption here

output.kafka:

enabled: true

hosts: ["[b-2.saroj-test-development.gv3pju.c6.kafka.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:9094](http://b-2.saroj-test-development.gv3pju.c6.kafka.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:9094)",  
"[b-3.saroj-test-development.gv3pju.c6.kafka.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:9094](http://b-3.saroj-test-development.gv3pju.c6.kafka.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:9094)",
