How can we see from the Kafka UI the messages that are processed and consumed by the consumer?

[Thilaknath]

We see different views on Topics, Brokers, Consumers. But we would like to know at a given point in time how much messages are currently present in the queue waiting to be processed and how much are already consumed?

Is there a way we can achieve the above?

Hi.

Regarding the "how many messages are present in the queue":
It's called consumer lag, in our app could be found in consumers' view as "Messages Behind" column.

Regarding "how many are already consumed":
That's nearly impossible. You can't know which consumer consumed which message which, as well, is no longer present in the topic btw.

Thank you for the clarification
