= Tracking rebalances

[role="_abstract"]
You can track the progress of a partition rebalance using status information in the `KafkaRebalance` resource.
Tracking an active partition rebalance supports planning of cluster operations, including worker node maintenance, scaling, and broker upgrades. 
Understanding key details, such as duration and the remaining data to transfer, helps with scheduling maintenance windows and assessing the impact of proceeding or canceling the rebalance.

When a rebalance is in progress, Strimzi stores progress information in a `ConfigMap`.
The `ConfigMap` is referenced by the `status.progress.rebalanceProgressConfigMap` property of the `KafkaRebalance` resource and has the same name as the `KafkaRebalance` resource.
The `ConfigMap` includes the following fields:

- `estimatedTimeToCompletionInMinutes`: The estimated time it will take in minutes until the partition rebalance is complete.

- `completedByteMovementPercentage`: The percentage of data movement completed (in bytes), as a rounded down integer from 0-100.

- `executorState.json`: The “non-verbose” JSON payload from the link:https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control/wiki/REST-APIs#query-the-state-of-cruise-control[/kafkacruisecontrol/state?substates=executor] endpoint, providing details about the executor's current status, including partition movement progress, concurrency limits, and total data to move.

The information is updated on each reconciliation of the `KafkaRebalance` resource.

.Prerequisites

* The `KafkaRebalance` custom resource is in a `Rebalancing` state.
