'Make kafka consumer group inactive

My biggest question is that do we have a concept in kafka called as consumer group to be inactive/active.

I am not sure how to achieve this in my local kafka server.

Can anyone help in how to do the kafka consumer group to inactive/active state?



Solution 1:[1]

If you have Confluent Control Center, you can see consumer section , if 'number of consumers' column is 0 then consumer group is inactive and visa versa

Confluent Control Center

Solution 2:[2]

If you have an active Consumer that is reading message, and the offsets are being commited back to Kafka, then you can confidently say, that is in an active state, as far as the Consumer Group is concerned.

If the group is rebalancing, consumers die periodically, or there is no more any consumers reading from a topic, then it is inactive.
