Sentry no more catches errors with this error, but the web interface still works.

In some cases,the Post Process Forwarder gets into a bad state and you need to do some manual cleanup.

    docker-compose stop

  2. Start only Zookeeper and Kafka

    docker start sentry_onpremise_kafka_1 sentry_onpremise_zookeeper_1

  3. Hop into the Kafka instance interactively

    docker exec -it sentry_onpremise_kafka_1 /bin/bash

  4. Receive consumers list

    kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server 127.0.0.1:9092 --list

  5. Get group ifo

    kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server 127.0.0.1:9092 --group snuba-post-processor -describe

  6. Set the offsets to latest

    kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server 127.0.0.1:9092 --group snuba-post-processor --topic events --reset-offsets --to-latest --execute

  7. Exit Kafka instance

    exit
