Did you unable log.cleaner.enable? " Enable the log cleaner process to run on the server. Should be enabled if using any topics with a cleanup.policy=compact including the internal offsets topic. If disabled those topics will not be compacted and continually grow in size."

When there is a fresh startup of kafka and zookeeper, and I create compact topics with a service running that writes to this topic, I see log cleaner thread is not running. It has no logs in /var/log/kafka/log-cleaner.log. How can I manually start the log cleaner thread if it doesn't start by itself? What is a good way to monitor log cleaner thread? Tanvi
