Xintong Song created FLINK-17677: ------------------------------------ Summary: FLINK_LOG_PREFIX recommended in docs is not always available Key: FLINK-17677 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17677 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 1.10.1, 1.9.3, 1.11.0 Reporter: Xintong Song Fix For: 1.11.0, 1.10.2, 1.9.4
The [Application Profiling & Debugging|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/monitoring/application_profiling.html] documentation recommend to use the script variable {{FLINK_LOG_PREFIX}} for defining log file paths. However, this variable is only available in standalone mode. This is a bit misleading for users of other deployments (see this [thread|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Flink-Memory-analyze-on-AWS-EMR-td35036.html]). I propose to replace {{FLINK_LOG_PREFIX}} with a general representation {{<your-log-path>}}, and add a separate section to discuss how to set the log path (e.g., use {{FLINK_LOG_PREFIX}} with standalone deployments and {{<LOG_DIR>}} with Yarn deployments). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
