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.

Prerequisites

Viewing Subscribers to a Topic

  1. Log in to the console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner to select a region.

    DMS for RocketMQ instances in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. Select a nearest location for low latency and fast access.

  4. Click a RocketMQ instance to go to the instance details page.
  5. In the navigation pane, choose Instance > Topics.
