Hi,
I'm trying to configure logstash to connect to confluent cloud kafka using input configuration a jaas file
using docker compose with logstash image version 6.0.1 (also tried with v6.8)
my docker service looks like this
logstash:
image: [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.0.1](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.0.1)
container\_name: logstash--dev
volumes:
- ./logstash/config/logstash.yml:/usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.yml:ro
- ./logstash/config/confluent\_jass.conf:/usr/share/logstash/config/confluent\_jass.conf:ro
- ./logstash/config/pipelines.yml:/usr/share/logstash/config/pipelines.yml:ro
- ./logstash/pipeline:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline:ro
```
environment:
LS_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xmx256m -Xms256m"
ports:
- "5000:5000"
depends_on:
- elasticsearch
- broker
```
my jaas files configuration looks like this:
KafkaClient {
org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required
serviceName="Logatsh"
username="some username"
password="some pass";
};
And My input configuration looks like this:
kafka {
```
group_id => "my-lgstash-consumers"
topics => ["topic1", "topic2"]
bootstrap_servers => "myserverdomain:9092"
security_protocol => "SASL_SSL"
sasl_mechanism => "PLAIN"
jass_path => "/usr/share/logstash/config/confluent_jass.conf"
codec => json {
charset => "UTF-8"
}
}
```
However when I run it I get an error log:
[ERROR][logstash.inputs.kafka] **Unknown setting 'jass\_path' for kafka**
