This would be a problem if bro is configured to send the reporter.log to Kafka.

Reporter::Error generates a reporter_error event which then calls

    Log::write(Reporter::LOG, [$ts=t, $level=ERROR, $message=msg, $location=location]);

So you're probably also ending up in the situation where bro is trying to log to Kafka the fact that Kafka is broken.

If you tell bro to not send the reporter.log to Kafka, does your problem go away?
