I am trying to register a Kafka Broker to RasaX but when I am running it locally it gives below log and Kafka consumer cannot get any data. Can some please help and let me know if I am missing something.

```
event_broker:
 url: localhost:9092
 username: username
 password: password
 topic: rasax
security_protocol: SASL_PLAINTEXT
type: kafka

```

Logs:-

```
Rasa X currently only supports a SQLite event broker with path 'events.db' when running locally. You 
can deploy Rasa X with Docker (https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/installation-and-setup/docker- 
compose-quick-install/) if you want to use other event broker configurations.
? Do you want to continue with the default SQLite event broker? Yes                                                                                                           
Starting Rasa X in local mode... 🚀
```

@rasaBro Rasa X only supports an SQLite event broker in local mode (see the log message you posted). If you want to use a Kafka event broker, you need to deploy Rasa X on a server: for example using the [One-Line Deploy Script](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/installation-and-setup/one-line-deploy-script/)
