Kafka consumer group diagnostics

Find growing lag, stuck partitions, uneven assignments, and unfamiliar consumers. Preview every offset change before applying it.

Group health

Refresh or sample every 5 seconds to see which offsets advance.

Partition lag

PartitionCommittedLatestLagOwnerReplicationInspect

Lag is the offset gap. Compacted or aborted records can make it different from a message count.

Move group offsets

Stop the consumer group first. Preview shows every partition’s current and new position; Kafka rejects changes if the group becomes active.

How to read the signals

The committed offset is the next position a consumer group will read. Lag compares it with the current end of each partition. A different member host, growing lag, or one unchanged commit is a lead to investigate, not proof of a root cause. Read the consumer lag guide for a worked example, or inspect exact Kafka records.
