Get last modified date of a Kafka topic

I know that is possible to get the latest offset of a kafka but is it possible to get the timestamp of the last change of a kafka topic via the kafka console scripts ?

I saw this question Kafka: How to get last modified time for a topic i.e. last message added to any partition of the topic but with no real answer to my question.

You can't get the timestamp straight forward from the script. Instead you can see the timestamp using the console-consumer script. It shows the CreateTime for a message As mentioned by @Sreekiran also, use the property "print.timestamp" as below :

ncsv@ubuntu:/data/softwares/kafka_2.11-2.0.0$ bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic testJsonTopic1 --property print.timestamp=true --from-beginning
CreateTime:1544445041225        {"id": "9","name": "wis"}
CreateTime:1544518616282        {"id": "19","name": "wes"}
CreateTime:1544520723808        {"id": "1","name": "test1"}
CreateTime:1544446690508        {"id": "9","name": "wes"}
CreateTime:1544445375123        {"id": "9","name": "wes"}
CreateTime:1544520388080        {"id": "20","name": "test1"}

It will show the time when the event was written in the cluster.

Add this to the current command --property print.timestamp=true That will print the timestamp CreateTime:1544706749268.
