Any idea how to set group name when consuming messages in kafka using command line.

I tried with the following command :

If you are using bash then you can use its process substitution capability.

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 \
--topic nil_RF2_P2 --from-beginning \
--consumer.config <(echo group.id=test1)
