On the Kafka console, you can view basic information, partition and producer information, and subscriptions of a topic.

If an instance contains more than 10,000 consumer groups, the subscribed topics cannot be queried.
The producer information is displayed only when a producer is producing messages into topics.

Log in to the console.
Click in the upper left corner to select the region where your instance is located.
Click and choose Application > Distributed Message Service (for Kafka) to open the console of DMS for Kafka.
Click the desired instance to go to the instance details page.
In the navigation pane, choose Topics.
Click a topic to view its details.

The general information, subscriptions, partitions, and producers are displayed.
