Kerberos auth used by filebeat input, ignored by metricbeat input #39677

Open fearful-symmetry opened 1 month ago

Right now, the kafka filebeat input allows the user to specify a Kerberos config:

https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/18a7e5447a3b474f3f09f98932ff124d210067a5/filebeat/input/kafka/config.go#L52-L53

but there's no kerberos config in the metricbeat kafka config:

https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/18a7e5447a3b474f3f09f98932ff124d210067a5/metricbeat/module/kafka/config.go#L28-L36

This is (obviously) a bit confusing for users, as the support for kerberos is a bit inconsistent.

This user is actually using Elastic Agent with the Kafka integration (custom logs variant as well). So ideally those integrations are modified to allow kerberos auth.

This is issue needs to be resolved before that happens however.
