Viewing RocketMQ Consumer Group-Topic Subscriptions

The consumer group and topic subscriptions can be viewed in real time on the RocketMQ console. A topic can be subscribed to by consumer groups. A consumer group can subscribe to topics.

All topics and tags subscribed by all consumers in one consumer group are the same. An inconsistent subscription causes disordered consumption logic and even message losses.

  1. Log in to the RocketMQ console.
  2. Click a RocketMQ instance name to go to the instance overview page.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Instance > Topics.
  4. Click the name of the target topic in the topic list.

    The online consumer groups can be viewed.
