# Kafka Streaming ## Authentication **IMPORTANT**: Credentials are injected automatically by a proxy layer. Do NOT check for `KAFKA_SASL_PASSWORD` in environment variables - it won't be visible to you. Just run the scripts directly; authentication is handled transparently. Configuration environment variables you CAN check (non-secret): - `KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS` - Kafka broker addresses - `KAFKA_SECURITY_PROTOCOL` - Security protocol (PLAINTEXT, SSL, SASL_SSL, SASL_PLAINTEXT) --- ## MANDATORY: Broker-First Investigation **Start with broker info, then check topics and consumer groups.** ``` BROKER INFO → LIST TOPICS → DESCRIBE TOPIC → CHECK CONSUMER LAG ``` ## Available Scripts All scripts are in `.claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/` ### get_broker_info.py - ALWAYS START HERE ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/get_broker_info.py ``` ### list_topics.py - List Topics ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/list_topics.py [--include-internal] ``` ### describe_topic.py - Topic Details with Offsets ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/describe_topic.py --topic TOPIC_NAME ``` ### list_consumer_groups.py - List Consumer Groups ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/list_consumer_groups.py ``` ### describe_consumer_group.py - Consumer Group Details ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/describe_consumer_group.py --group GROUP_ID ``` ### get_consumer_lag.py - Consumer Lag with Health Assessment ```bash python .claude/skills/streaming-kafka/scripts/get_consumer_lag.py --group GROUP_ID [--topic TOPIC] ``` --- ## Consumer Lag Health Levels | Total Lag | Health | |-----------|--------| | 0 | healthy | | < 1,000 | minor_lag | | < 100,000 | lagging | | >= 100,000 | severely_lagging | --- ## Investigation Workflow ### Consumer Lag Investigation ``` 1. get_broker_info.py (verify cluster health) 2. list_consumer_groups.py (find the group) 3. get_consumer_lag.py --group <group-id> (check lag) 4. describe_topic.py --topic <topic> (check partition details) ``` ### Topic Issue Investigation ``` 1. list_topics.py 2. describe_topic.py --topic <topic> (partitions, configs, offsets) 3. Check under-replicated partitions in output ```
