Show the progress of a broker decommissioning. When a node is in the process of being decommissioned, this command reports the decommissioning progress as follows, where PARTITION-SIZE is in bytes. Using -H, it prints the partition size in a human-readable format. ```bash $ rpk redpanda admin brokers decommission-status 4 DECOMMISSION PROGRESS ===================== PARTITION MOVING-TO COMPLETION-% PARTITION-SIZE kafka/test/0 3 9 1699470920 kafka/test/4 3 0 1614258779 kafka/test2/3 3 3 2722706514 kafka/test2/4 3 4 2945518089 kafka_internal/id_allocator/0 3 0 3562 ``` Using --detailed / -d, it additionally prints granular reports. ```bash $ rpk redpanda admin brokers decommission-status 4 -d DECOMMISSION PROGRESS ===================== PARTITION MOVING-TO COMPLETION-% PARTITION-SIZE BYTES-MOVED BYTES-REMAINING kafka/test/0 3 13 1731773243 228114727 1503658516 kafka/test/4 3 1 1645952961 18752660 1627200301 kafka/test2/3 3 5 2752632301 140975805 2611656496 kafka/test2/4 3 6 2975443783 181581219 2793862564 ``` If a partition cannot be moved for some reason, the command reports the problematic partition in the 'REALLOCATION FAILURE DETAILS' or 'ALLOCATION FAILURES' section, and decommission fails. Typical scenarios for failure include: - Insufficient broker storage space to allocate a partition - Brokers that cannot satisfy rack constraints ```bash REALLOCATION FAILURE DETAILS ============================ PARTITION REASON kafka/foo/1 Missing partition size information, all replicas may be offline kafka/foo/7 Missing partition size information, all replicas may be offline ``` ## [](#usage)Usage ```bash rpk redpanda admin brokers decommission-status [BROKER ID] [flags] ``` ## [](#flags)Flags | Value | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | -d, --detailed | - | Print how much data moved and remaining in bytes. | | -H, --human-readable | - | Print the partition size in a human-readable form. | | -h, --help | - | Help for decommission-status. | | --config | string | Redpanda or rpk config file; default search paths are /var/lib/redpanda/.config/rpk/rpk.yaml, $PWD/redpanda.yaml, and /etc/redpanda/redpanda.yaml. | | -X, --config-opt | stringArray | Override rpk configuration settings.
