  2. Select Topics from the left sidebar.

  3. Select a specific topic in the Topics screen or click on the ellipsis (More options).

  4. On the Topics info screen, select Partitions to view detailed information about the partitions.

With Aiven API#

Retrieve topic details with an API call using the endpoint to get Kafka topic info.

With Aiven CLI#

Retrieve topic details by using Aiven CLI commands. Find the full list of commands for avn service topic in the CLI reference.

For example, this bash script, with a help of jq utility, lists topics and their details for a specified Apache Kafka service:

#!/bin/bash
proj=${1:-YOUR-AIVEN-PROJECT-NAME}
serv="${2:-YOUR-KAFKA-SERVICE-NAME}"
cloud=$(avn service get --project $proj $serv --json | jq -r '.cloud_name')
topics=$(avn service topic-list --project $proj $serv --json | jq -r '.[] | .topic_name')

echo "Cloud: $cloud Service: $serv"
for topic in $topics
do
   echo "Topic: $topic"
   avn service topic-get --project $proj $serv $topic
done
