Kafka zookeeper keep on showing info Message 'Accepted socket connection from /10.xxx.xxx.xxx'

Question

I was working on existing Kafka but some how it stopped responding to configuration 'retention.ms'.so I installed fresh copy of Kafka 0.8.2.1 and ran it. but it keeps showing info messages like: The IP it shows is valid IP on our Network which produces messages on it. But even its machine is off it keeps showing it

[2016-02-18 10:46:10,830] INFO Accepted socket connection from /10.20.xxx.xxx:5988

Do you remember what happened and what (might have) solved it? – Jealous

i think i restarted the VM and closed all Kafka clients but that is not perfect solution – Plagio

Answer 1

Based on the comments, the way to make sure Kafka noticed the machine was no longer there, was to restart the machine as well as Kafka.
