How We Use Kafka

Places to get information about Kafka for debugging

1. <URLs or commands to run to see how many items are in queue>
2. https://confluent.cloud/ → Use LastPass TNG credentials to login and select inv-kafka environment
3. Kafka Topics (Queues) in Confluent Cloud → https://confluent.cloud/environments/t4754/clusters/lkc-qvj06/topics
4. After selecting a topic you can look at the Consumer lag to know if the queue is blocked or not. Example: https://confluent.cloud/environments/t4754/clusters/lkc-qvj06/topics/EMAIL_RECEIVED/metrics/consumer-lag
