Hi Henry, You can also use any other consumer basically to read from the internal topics. The kafka-console-consumer would work for this purpose. If you're just looking to view the offsets for a consumer group though, might I suggest going with the built-in ConsumerGroupCommand? It has the capability to describe any consumer group, list all consumer groups, or remove any you don't want: kafka-run-class kafka.admin.ConsumerGroupCommand
That command will show you the options for running the ConsumerGroupCommand.
