Trying to integrate Kafka with Deepstream for which is getting stuck at 4th Frame - Error

We are integrating Primary Detector with Secondary Tracker as Classifier with Tracking ID’s on Deepstream with multiple URL’s, which is working out good.

But we are integrating Kafka with it which is getting stuck at 4th Frame as shown below:

Creating LL OSD context new
Frame Number = 0 Number of objects = 1 Vehicle Count = 1 Person Count = 0
Frame Number = 1 Number of objects = 1 Vehicle Count = 1 Person Count = 0
Frame Number = 2 Number of objects = 1 Vehicle Count = 1 Person Count = 0
Frame Number = 3 Number of objects = 1 Vehicle Count = 1 Person Count = 0
Frame Number = 4 Number of objects = 1 Vehicle Count = 1 Person Count = 0

Hi,

May I know which Deepstream do you use?
Would you mind if test5 + DS4.0.1 work on your environment first?

Thanks.
