HI Sebastian, I would check for that https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-kafka.html, where it says:
This plugin uses Kafka Client 2.1.0. For broker compatibility, see the official Kafka compatibility reference <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Compatibility+Matrix>. If the linked compatibility wiki is not up-to-date, please contact Kafka support/community to confirm compatibility. With this in mind, I don't see how the logstash plugin could not work with Kafka 2.5, but the best place to ask, could probably be directly to the project. I hope this helps, -- Pere Missatge de Sebastjan Vodušek <sebas.vodu...@gmail.com> del dia dl., 6 de jul. 2020 a les 15:23: > Hello, > > does anyone know if latest Logstash 7.8 input plugin is compatible with > latest Kafka 2.5.0? > > > Thank you and best regards, > > Sebastjan > -- Pere Urbon-Bayes Software Architect https://twitter.com/purbon https://www.linkedin.com/in/purbon/
