Docs Cloud Reference rpk Commands rpk cluster rpk cluster txn rpk cluster txn describe rpk cluster txn describe Describe transactional IDs. This command, in comparison to list, is a more detailed per-transaction view of transactional IDs. In addition to the state and producer ID, this command also outputs when a transaction started, the epoch of the producer ID, how long until the transaction times out, and the partitions currently a part of the transaction. For information on what the columns in the output mean, see rpk cluster txn --help. By default, all topics in a transaction are merged into one line. To print a row per topic, use --format=long. To include partitions with topics, use --print-partitions; --format=json/yaml will return the equivalent of the long format with print partitions included. If no transactional IDs are requested, all transactional IDs are printed.
