For reading offsets,
--offsets --describe --group <groupName>

Let's file another JIRA for reset offset tool as that requires more thought and that tool doesn't even exist today.

> It would be useful to have a way to get a list of consumer groups currently active via some tool/script that ships with kafka. This would be helpful so that the system tools can be explored more easily.
> For example, when running the ConsumerOffsetChecker, it requires a group option
> bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --topic test --group ?
> But, when just getting started with kafka, using the console producer and consumer, it is not clear what value to use for the group option.  If a list of consumer groups could be listed, then it would be clear what value to use.
