Thanks Jiangjie, unfortunately turning trace level on does not seem to work (any log level actually) I am using log4j2 (through slf4j) and despite including log4j1 bridge and these lines:
<Logger name="org.apache.kafka" level="trace"/> <Logger name="kafka" level="trace"/> in my conf file I could not squeeze out any logging from kafka. Logging for all other libs (like zookeeper e.g.) work perfectly. Am I doing something wrong?
