Fix the kafka plugin¶

Error in logstash 6.4:

error=>"Invalid value 32768 for configuration receive.buffer.bytes: Expected value to be a 32-bit integer, but it was a java.lang.Long"

Uninstall the plugin:

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin uninstall logstash-output-kafka

Install version 7.1.1 of the plugin:

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install --version 7.1.1 logstash-output-kafka
