If you change your Kafka cluster size, or replace an existing Kafka broker with another, Lenses will raise an active alert as it will detect that a broker of your Kafka cluster is no longer available. If the Kafka broker has been intentionally removed, then decommission it:

  1. Navigate to Services.
  2. Select the broker and click on the actions in the options menu and click on the Decommission option.
