Issue submitter TODO list

  • I've searched for an already existing issues here
  • I'm running a supported version of the application which is listed here and the feature is not present there

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Yes. Currently, in Kafbat UI when browsing the list of topics, there is no direct way to see which consumer groups are associated with each topic, nor the corresponding lag.

This is something AKHQ handled very well. It allowed users to quickly identify which topics were being consumed by which groups and to detect potential lag issues at a glance. Without this, it’s harder to monitor consumer activity and spot issues quickly.

Describe the feature you're interested in

I would like Kafbat UI to display, in the Topics view, a summary of the consumer groups associated with each topic, along with their current lag.

This could be shown as an additional column or an expandable section per topic, allowing users to quickly assess consumer health and identify problems without having to navigate multiple screens.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, the only way to view this information is to click on a topic, then go to the Consumers tab. However, this only shows consumer groups for the specific topic selected. When managing many topics (100+), this approach becomes inefficient and time-consuming, as it requires checking each topic individually to identify where issues may lie.
