View consumer lag

Consumer lag in Apache Kafka® refers to the delay between the production and consumption of messages. This delay happens when messages are produced to a topic at a faster rate than they are consumed. To monitor lag, Apache Kafka® provides a command-line interface called kafka-consumer-groups, which can be used to check the lag for each topic partition. Similarly, Klaw allows you to monitor this lag using the Klaw interface.
