Hi@akhtar,

The acts configuration is used to configure acknowledgements. When producer sends some messages to the kafka broker, than the producer gets back an acknowledgement from the kafka broker.
The parameter acts can take three values
acts=0
acts=1
acts=all

when acts=0, then the producer will not wait for an acknowledgement.
When acts=1, It gets response from the leader partition.
when acts=all, It gets response from all the partitions.

Hope this will help you.
