The connection from producer to Kafka cluster is flapping

The Kafka is deployed in a kubernetes environment with 3 pods in a kafka cluster.

The producer kafka connection keeps flapping. The error callback is producing below low -

**err: Local: Broker transport failure

reason: kafka-0.kafka-headless.common.svc.cluster.local:9092/1001: Receive failed: Disconnected**

What is the reason for this flap?

I have below config set, but i am not getting any additional information.

**rd_kafka_conf_set(conf, "debug", "broker,topic,msg", NULL, 0);**
**rd_kafka_conf_set(conf, "log_level", "7", NULL, 0);**

Other config:

rd_kafka_conf_set(conf, "socket.keepalive.enable", "true", NULL, 0);
rd_kafka_conf_set(conf, "log.connection.close", "true",NULL, 0);

Start with the reported rd_kafka_conf_set debug, log_level, socket.keepalive.enable, and log.connection.close settings, then inspect the broker and Kubernetes logs for kafka-0.kafka-headless.common.svc.cluster.local:9092. Done means identifying a reproducible cause for the disconnects and documenting the log evidence or configuration change that prevents the connection from flapping.
