Python KafkaConsumer not printing output

Question

I am using following script to read data from kafka -

from kafka import KafkaConsumer
from json import loads
import json

consumer = KafkaConsumer('topicname',bootstrap_servers=['brokerip'],enable_auto_commit=True)
 
 for message in consumer:
     message = message.value
     print(message)

When i first ran the code it was working, but now it's not printing anything. Nothing is changed in code. Any reason for why its happening?

You've committed the messages for your consumer group (enable_auto_commit=True), and there are no messages actively being produced.

If you want to repeat the messages, you need to reset the consumer group or use a new one
