Why does the Groups page display more consumer groups than I created? - ApsaraMQ for Kafka

Symptoms

The Groups page of the ApsaraMQ for Kafka console displays more consumer groups than you have actually created.

If the value in the Auto Creation column of the group is No, the group is created on the Groups page in the ApsaraMQ for Kafka console.
If the value in the Auto Creation column of the group is Yes, the cause of your problem may be:
- If you have enabled the flexible group creation feature, groups are automatically created in the ApsaraMQ for Kafka cluster and displayed on the Groups page. For more information, see Use the flexible group creation feature.
- If you have not enabled the flexible group creation feature but you have used the Assign mode to commit consumer offsets, the corresponding groups are created in the Kafka cluster and displayed on the Groups page.
