1.6 Troubleshooting Kafka

This topic provides systematic instruction to resolve the issues while running Kafka.

The possible issues that may occur while running Kafka.

1. Execute the command $ netstat –tlnp | grep :9092.

   Note:

   9092 is the default port of kafka.

   Kafka may not be starting because Zookeeper has not started yet.

2. Execute the command $ netstat –tlnp | grep :2181.

   Note:

   2181 is default port of zookeeper.

   If any service is not running on this port, it means Zookeeper is down.
