Description
There is at least one place i the module where error itself isn't logged which makes it difficult to troubleshoot - https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/ff9d3fa7c5bd121e60b7279a05dec4130bd54c78/metricbeat/module/kafka/consumergroup/query.go#L120
Update the log statement to include error itself. Check for any other places in the code where log statement might be lacking error.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in metricbeat/module/kafka/consumergroup/query.go around line 120 and inspect the referenced log statement. Then search the Kafka module for other log statements that omit an error; done means the relevant errors are included in logging wherever the issue identifies missing context.
