Andras Sereny created KAFKA-1401: ------------------------------------ Summary: Log dir hardcoded in bin/kafka-run-class.sh Key: KAFKA-1401 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1401 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: tools Affects Versions: 0.8.1 Environment: *nix Reporter: Andras Sereny
The bin/kafka-run-class.sh start script hardcodes the server log directory: LOG_DIR=$base_dir/logs While this might be useful for a development setup, I think in production you wouldn't want the logs go inside the Kafka installation directory. LOG_DIR should be configurable (via an enviroment variable, like JMX_PORT?) with this sensible default provided. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
