Kafka Consumer Lag

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: data-engineering  ·  Last updated:
type:debug
Analyse Kafka consumer group lag using the Lenses MCP server. Diagnoses lag causes (throughput bottlenecks, rebalancing, partition skew, stalled consumers) and suggests remediation. Use when user says "check consumer lag", "why are consumers slow", "lag report" or asks about consumer group health or offset progress. Do NOT use for resetting offsets or managing consumer groups.

From the source SKILL.md

Analyses consumer group lag across all groups and diagnoses potential causes. Consumer lag is the most commonly monitored Kafka metric and the first thing engineers check during incidents.
