The alert in the screenshot is triggered, and the business is not functioning properly.

I tried restarting Alertmanager and got the following error:

The server firewall is turned off. Could you please tell me what the problem might be (ports 9093 and 9094 are not occupied)?

Are the version parameters, partition parameters, and replica parameters of Kafka consistent with those online?

This has nothing to do with Kafka. Check if you can normally connect to Kafka from the corresponding CDC node to produce and consume messages.
