How to deal with tons of "no progress has been made during state machine apply" logs
Last updated: August 11, 2026
Problem Statement
Occasionally Redpanda broker complains this warning repeatedly:
| WARN 2024-06-29 01:28:28,613 [shard 1:main] raft - [group_id:24, {kafka_internal/tx/22}] state_machine_manager.cc:371 - no progress has been made during state machine apply. Current next offset: 4339146 |
Solution
This is a spurious log entry and it is safe to ignore the warning. Eventually Redpanda should be able to read the entry mentioned in the log line.
Notes
This applies to all released versions as of now.
- 24.1.x
- 23.3.x
- 23.2.x
