Viewing topic partitions

This page describes how to use Lenses to view topic partition metrics and configuration.

To view topic partitions select the Partition tab. Here you can see a heat map of messages in the topic and their distribution across the partitions.

Is the map evenly distributed? If not you might have partition skew.

Further information about the partitions and replicas is displayed, for example, whether the replicas are in-sync or not.

If the replicas are not in-sync an infrastructure alert will be raised.
