Sorry some misinformation from my side. You can actually change the log4j properties to get it to write to a file. Using the following in your log4j properties file log4j.rootLogger=INFO, FILE log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.FILE.File={$dir}/zoo.log log4j.append

I¹ve read through the admin manual at http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_loggi ng and I don¹t see that there is any way to specify a location for the server¹s own log file. zookeeper.log appears in the bin directory, regardless of setting dataDir or dataLogDir i
