Hi,

Good day!

Would like to ask what solution or if there are any reference in a solution where I’m trying to ingest log files data to logstash then those logstash will realtime be written to a kafka topic.

The logstash documentation on the output Kafka plugin should be enough.

This specific forum is for the Kafka Connect API, which is an alternative solution to Logstash. For example, there is an [ElasticSearch Sink Connector](https://docs.confluent.io/kafka-connectors/elasticsearch/current/overview.html)
