- The time and timezone are in accordance with the system time.
Summary Panel
The summary panel displays the following metrics of a topic:

Summary Panel
Metric | Description |
---|---|
# of Partitions | Number of partitions created in the broker. |
In Sync Replicas | The number of topic replicas that are in sync with the topics in replication factor. |
# of Consumers | Number of consumers or subscribers of a topic. |
# of Consumer Groups | The total number of different consumer groups |
Replication Factor | Defines the number of copies a topic has in a Kafka cluster. These copies are used in the event of a failover. If Replication Factor is N, Kafka can tolerate up to N-1 failures. |
Bytes In | Amount of incoming data. |
Bytes Out | Amount of outgoing data. |
Bytes In Mean Rate | Average incoming byte rate |
Bytes Out Mean Rate | Average outgoing byte rate |
Bytes In One Minute Rate | Rate of incoming data per minute. |
Bytes Out One Minute Rate | Rate of outgoing data per minute. |
Bytes In Five Minute Rate | Rate of incoming data in five minute interval. |
Bytes Out Five Minute Rate | Rate of outgoing data in five minute interval. |
Bytes In Fifteen Minute Rate | Rate of incoming data in fifteen minute interval. |
Bytes Out Fifteen Minute Rate | Rate of outgoing data in fifteen minute interval. |
Data Chart
The first bar graph displays the incoming and outgoing data per second. Hover over the graph to view the data in and out at a particular time within the time frame you select.

Data in/out per sec Chart
Topic Message Chart

Topic Message Chart
Toggle between the views by clicking the toggle button.
You can monitor the Data and Topic Message chart by the following views:
- Bytes Processed: Represents the amount of incoming and outgoing at a given date and time. The graph displays Data In and Data Out.
- Bytes Per Sec: Represents the amount of incoming and outgoing data per second. The graph displays Data In Per Sec and Data Out Per Second
Consumer Partition Details
This graph displays the number of records a partition of a consumer group is lagging behind by a producer. This data is represented on the basis of Offset lag per consumer. Hover over the bars chart to see the exact number of records that are lagging.
You can sort out the data by a particular consumer. Click the Consumer Group drop-down and select a consumer group.

Consumer Partition Details
To access the Consumer Details page for the specified consumer group, click the Group Details button.
For more consumer partition details, you can view the following metrics.
Metric | Description |
---|---|
Online | This state shows that the Kafka topic is online and receiving messages from the producer. |
Client ID | The client ID of the topic. |
Partition ID | The ID of partition in the consumer group. |
Log Size | Size of the partition log. The size is in general equally distributed which results to almost no skewness of data in the topic. |
Log End Offset | Number of records added to the end of a message written to a log. When you add new records, the value of log end offset increments by the number of new records. |
Consumer Lag | Number of records the consumer group is lagging behind by a producer or the delta value between the read and write records. |
Producer Lag | The number of records the producer group is lagging behind for upload. |
Replicas | IDs of the brokers where the replica of the partition is stored. |
Under Replicated | Number of partitions yet to be replicated. |
Leader Broker ID | The broker ID elected as the leader to receive read and write requests from consumers and producers. |
Consumer Instance Owner | The owner of the consumer instance. |
Inspect
The Inspect tile gives you a preview of your data.
