Consuming with -o beginning flag doesn't show old messages

[omriarnon-s1]

Hi I'm trying to consume from a topic using Kafkacat , using the following command:

kafkacat -b *****:9093 -C -K\t -X security.protocol=SASL_SSL -X sasl.mechanisms=SCRAM-SHA-512 -X sasl.username=**** -X sasl.password=**** -t **** -o beginning

The command's response is:

% Reached end of topic **** [0] at offset 121507
% Reached end of topic **** [2] at offset 186701
% Reached end of topic **** [1] at offset 175697

So I'm not getting any of the old messages in the topic. Is there something I'm missing here?

Please provide the output from kafkacat -V
