**Default topic**

| Set a default topic to use for events sent by {agent} to the Kafka output.

You can set a static topic, for example `elastic-agent`, or you can choose to set a topic dynamically based on an {ecs-ref}/ecs-reference.html[Elastic Common Scheme (ECS)] field. Available fields include:

* `data_stream_type`
* `data_stream.dataset`
* `data_stream.namespace`
* `@timestamp`
* `event-dataset`

You can also set a custom field. This is useful if you're using the <<add_fields-processor,`add_fields` processor>> as part of your {agent} input.
Otherwise, setting a custom field is not recommended.
