Hi I am sending Winglogbeat Data from my System to Kafka. I find that on starting the Winlogbeat, it initially sends the data in interval of 5 minutes, 2-3 times, and then it just does not update further. I have tried increasing the timeout interval in Kafka, but still not much change. This is my Winlogbeat config file.
winlogbeat.event\_logs:
- name: Skype Room System
ignore\_older: 24h
output.kafka:
hosts: ["10.192.152.21:9092","10.192.152.22:9092","10.192.152.23:9092"]
topic: "conf-monitor-topic"
required\_acks: 1
compression: gzip
max\_message\_bytes: 1000000
max\_retries: -1
timeout: 60s

Could you please format your config using either backticks or the `` button?
Please share your Winlogbeat logs.
