Docs: I looking for an mimir with Kafka setup documentation

[vaishnavi216]

Is your documentation request related to a feature? If so, which one?

i going through this ingest_storage configs and https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/configure/configuration-parameters/#ingest_storage
and this runbook here many things added about troubleshooting steps when the kafka enabled https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/manage/mimir-runbooks/

The panels in the dashboard are vertically sorted by the network path (eg. gateway -> distributor -> ingester). When using ingest-storage, network path changes to gateway -> distributor -> Kafka instead.

but we need the full setup documentation why introducing Kafka in the flow and how to setup.

What is the solution that you would like or the expected outcome?

Documentation for Mimir with Kafka setup and benifits

What did you think would happen?

so it is easy to test this approach in our environment

What was your environment?

Infrastructure: Kubernetes, deployment tool: helm (manifest .yaml files)

Any additional context to share?

No response
