Dominique, The "bytes in" value represents how many bytes have been received from an incoming connection. Since ConsumeKafka is directly consuming data from Kafka (a "source" processor), and not from a connection from an upstream processor, it won't show a value for "bytes in". If you want to see how much data ConsumeKafka has sent downstream, you can look at "bytes out". The value should be close to how many bytes have been consumed from Kafka. I'm not familiar with the Kafka processors, but I assume the messages are encrypted/compressed.
