Kafka consumer list

Question

I need to find out a way to ask Kafka for a list of topics. I know I can do that using the kafka-topics.sh script included in the bin\\ directory.

Answer 1

Use kafka-consumer-groups.sh

For example

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh  --list --bootstrap-server localhost:9092

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --describe --group mygroup --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
