How to Check Kafka Version

Published October 2022

Here are two quick steps to check which version of Apache Kafka is running.

Step 1:  Change directories to the Kafka home directory.

Step 2:  Use command-line utilities to enter the following command:

				
					$  bin/kafka-topics.sh --version

 

It will return the version running.

				
					$  bin/kafka-topics.sh --version
3.3.1 (Commit:e23c59d00e687ff5)

 

Here the Kafka version running is 3.3.1.
