hi everyone,  
I am trying to send data using wingbeat to Kafka to Logstash to elastic.  
but the winlogbeat is not shipping any data to kafka topic.  
when I started the winlogbeat service it created the topic but no data shipped to it.

```auto
output.kafka:
  enabled: true
  # initial brokers for reading cluster metadata
  hosts: ["kafka IP:9092"]
 # message topic selection + partitioning
  topic: 'winlogbeat-topic1'
  partition.round_robin:
    reachable_only: false

 required_acks: 1
  compression: gzip
  max_message_bytes: 1000000

```
