Hello - I have Mesos and Marathon running on centos 7. I'm trying to get Kafka running but am having difficulty starting the brokers. I can launch the scheduler directly as a framework or as a docker container and that is fine (I think) but when I try to launch the brokers they time out and I'm not aware of any logs I can look through to find out what's going on.
In this example I start up a kafa-mesos docker container on my slave2 and then attempt to control it from master1. This is all with java 1.7.0 docker run -it -p 7000:7000 --add-host=master1:172.27.1.11 root/kafka-mesos ./kafka-mesos.sh scheduler --master=master1:5050 --zk=master1:2181 --api= http://172.27.2.12:7000 --storage=file:kafka-mesos.json 2015-06-04 20:46:04,664 [main] INFO ly.stealth.mesos.kafka.Scheduler$ - Starting Scheduler$: debug: false, storage: file:kafka-mesos.json mesos: master=master1:5050, user=<default>, principal=<none>, secret=<none> framework: name=kafka, role=*, timeout=30d api: http://172.27.2.12:7000, zk: master1:2181, jre: <none> 2015-06-04 20:46:04,780 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server - jetty-9.0.z-SNAPSHOTWrappedArray() 2015-06-04 20:46:04,821 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler - Started WrappedArray(o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler@13a15f06{/,null,AVAILABLE}) 2015-06-04 20:46:04,850 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector - Started WrappedArray(ServerConnector@2f37e8bc{HTTP/1.1}{0.0.0.0:7000}) 2015-06-04 20:46:04,851 [main] INFO ly.stealth.mesos.kafka.HttpServer$ - started on port 7000 I0604 20:46:04.943804 16 sched.cpp:157] Version: 0.22.1 I0604 20:46:04.947131 43 sched.cpp:254] New master detected at [email protected]:5050 I0604 20:46:04.947571 43 sched.cpp:264] No credentials provided.

Ideas of how to debug this?
