I do not see what is wrong, I am using confluent brokers.

Hi,it's a bug.I've added an error check and It's been merged.
Could you please try it again with the latest version?

[rveve]

HI @jackcipher , I confirm it is working now with the new fix.
Thank you a lot.

Also, not sure why I am getting a negative lag though.

[aws]> 

[jackcipher]

Negative lag mostly arises on the server side, such as when restarting Kafka incorrectly or having insufficient disk capacity. The root cause is that the consumer group's offset is lower than the high watermark of a specific topic partition.

Troubleshooting such issue can be challenging in most cases. However, to resolve it directly, try resetting the group offset to the latest available offset.

For more details, see:
https://github.com/birdayz/kaf?tab=readme-ov-file#offset-reset

Sure, Thank you a lot, but I see some discrepancy between the lag number reported by "kaf topic lag" and "kaf group describe" kaf group describe lag info is different than the one of kaf topic lag, please see below.

[imcheck]

I faced a similar issue 😢.
The result of kaf topic lag is too big compared to kaf group describe <GROUP> --topic <TOPIC>.
Is this a bug?

[rveve]

It sounds a bug, I was hoping to use this new 'lag' feature of kaf instead using kafkactl to get this info.
