CCAAK Exam Dumps : Confluent Certified Administrator for Apache Kafka

The kafka-consumer-groups.sh script is used to monitor consumer group offsets and lag. It shows the current offset, log end offset, and lag for each partition consumed by a consumer group.

From Kafka documentation:

“You can use kafka-consumer-groups.sh with the --describe flag to get the offset lag per consumer group.”

A → Incorrect: No such built-in script.

B → Correct: Official script for viewing consumer group lag.

C → Incorrect: Does not exist as a built-in Kafka tool.

D → Incorrect: Used for partition reassignment, unrelated to lag monitoring.

Kafka supports multiple listeners, allowing you to configure different security settings for internal and external traffic. For example, one listener can use PLAINTEXT for internal replication traffic, and another can use SASL_SSL for external client traffic.

From Kafka documentation:

“Kafka allows configuration of multiple listeners to segregate internal and external traffic, each with its own security protocol.”

B → Correct: Enables secure and isolated communication channels.

A → Unnecessary and inefficient.

C → Invalid: A single listener supports only one protocol.

D → Not a Kafka-level configuration.

For maximum throughput and lowest latency, the setting acks=0 allows the producer to send messages without waiting for any acknowledgment from the broker. This increases speed but at the cost of durability.

From Kafka documentation:

“acks=0: The producer does not wait for any acknowledgment from the broker. The message can be lost but offers the highest throughput.”

A → Correct: Maximizes throughput with no delivery guarantee.

B → Balanced option but not max throughput.

C → Offers strongest durability but lowest throughput.

D → Invalid configuration.
