| Option | KAFKA_EGRESS_CONSUMER_GROUP_PREFIX | |
| Description | Defines a prefix that will be applied to Kafka consumer group IDs used for egress (outbound) operations. A consumer group prefix is used to identify which groups should be considered when deleting data from the ingest queue topic. | |
This setting helps LogScale maintain clean separation of Kafka consumer groups across different instances and environments, making Kafka administration and troubleshooting more straightforward while preventing potential offset conflicts.
