Kafka Not Receiving Messages: Common Causes

  1. Kafka cluster failure: If there is a failure in the Kafka cluster or if a node goes down, it may result in the inability to receive messages.
  2. Network failure: The network issue may result in producers being unable to connect to the Kafka cluster, or consumers being unable to retrieve messages from the Kafka cluster.
  3. Incorrect theme configuration, such as setting the partition number incorrectly or not having enough replicas, could prevent Kafka from properly receiving messages.
  4. Insufficient storage space: If Kafka’s log directory does not have enough storage space, it may result in Kafka being unable to continue receiving messages.
  5. Incorrect configuration: If the Kafka configuration file is set incorrectly, such as having a too small memory limit or incorrect IO parameters, it may lead to Kafka’s inability to receive messages.
  6. Disk failure: If there is a malfunction in Kafka’s disk, it may result in the inability to write messages.
  7. Permission issues: If producers or consumers do not have sufficient access rights to the Kafka cluster, it may result in messages not being able to send or receive.
