IBM BAI - Confluent Kafka configuration issue

Hello Team

I have been trying to configure the IBM BAI on a standalone mode and it uses Confluent Kafka to send events to Kibana. Now, I followed the prerequisites and don't see any error in SystemOut logs as well. But when I run the BPM Process which is internally supposed to emit the events to Kafka, I see that events are not reaching Kafka. I was able to see the events in SystemOut logs, but it was failing to reach Kafka due to Time Out error. I checked the following:

1. docker container "data_kafka_1" was up & running.
2. BPMEventEmitter app was running fine and all the BUS/Queues/Desitination/AS configurations looks okay.
3. bootstrap server -> myhost:29092
4. KAFKA_LISTENERS = INTERNAL://:9093,INTERNAL_SSL://:9092,EXTERNAL_SSL://:29092
5. KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS = INTERNAL://:9093,INTERNAL_SSL://:9092,EXTERNAL_SSL://myhost:29092:29092
6. docker container ls shows this for data_kafka_1 -> container host | 0.0.0.0:29092→29092/tcp
7. SystemOut logs shows Kafka connection was successful.
8. Zookeeper container Ports -> 2181/tcp, 2888/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2121->2121/tcp, 3888/tcp

What could be the issue and how to diagnose it?
How to check the topics in kafka container?
I could not find any command to produce or consume the messages on kafka topics, especially for this confluent kafka installed for IBM BAI. Please share that as well.

Let me know what else info is required. Thanks in advance !!
