From 0fd7203ef19ea366f72a58059673f31d6207f229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gigallucci <41215688+gigallucci@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 11:54:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Version Information for kafka-output unclear (#9032) In the paragraph "compatibility" it is mentioned that versions 0.11 to 2.00 are supported. In the description of the parameter "version" it is mentioned that all versions from 0.8.2.0 to 2.0.0 are valid. It would be useful to mention the supported versions. This would avoid misinterpretations. I assume that the information in the paragraph "compatibility" is correct. --- libbeat/docs/outputconfig.asciidoc | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libbeat/docs/outputconfig.asciidoc b/libbeat/docs/outputconfig.asciidoc index 35e1eb65879..af888bae290 100644 --- a/libbeat/docs/outputconfig.asciidoc +++ b/libbeat/docs/outputconfig.asciidoc @@ -789,6 +789,7 @@ output.kafka: NOTE: Events bigger than <> will be dropped.
