Rule-matched signals from the detection consumer
No active alertsAlerts appear here when the rule threshold is reached.
Synthetic demonstration — no real account, transaction or customer data is processed.

BROKER METADATA
Topics and partitions
Actual next offsets returned by Kafka
Waiting for broker metadata…
CONSUMER OFFSETS
Consumer groups
Committed offsets and approximate lag
Waiting for consumer data…
Offsets are per partition, not globally sequential message IDs. Consumer lag can be temporarily unavailable before offset commits. Single-node KRaft is for teaching, not high availability.
CONTROLLED SIMULATION
Authentication anomaly
Five failures within sixty seconds
Send five sample authentication failures for a unique demo account. The producer writes to bank.auth.events; a separate detection consumer evaluates the threshold and emits a HIGH alert.
Sample source IP
198.51.100.42 is documentation-only. No external banking service is contacted.FAILURE INJECTION
