Zookeeper is creating the logs with a name zookeeper-root-hostname.out but this is my log4j.properties:
zookeeper.root.logger=INFO, CONSOLE
zookeeper.console.threshold=INFO
zookeeper.log.dir=.
zookeeper.log.file=zookeeper.log
zookeeper.log.threshold=INFO
zookeeper.log.maxfilesize=256MB
zookeeper.log.maxbackupindex=20
zookeeper.tracelog.dir=${zookeeper.log.dir}
zookeeper.tracelog.file=zookeeper_trace.log
log4j.rootLogger=${zookeeper.root.logger}
#
# console
# Add "console" to rootlogger above if you want to use this
#
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.Threshold=${zookeeper.console.threshold}
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [myid:%X{myid}] - %-5p [%t:%C{1}@%L] - %m%n
#
# Add ROLLINGFILE to rootLogger to get log file output
#
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.Threshold=${zookeeper.log.threshold}
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.File=${zookeeper.log.dir}/${zookeeper.log.file}
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.MaxFileSize=${zookeeper.log.maxfilesize}
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.MaxBackupIndex=${zookeeper.log.maxbackupindex}
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [myid:%X{myid}] - %-5p [%t:%C{1}@%L] - %m%n
If a change the property zookeeper.log.file=zookeeper.log the file is created with the same name, How can I change the filename of the log?
Update
I found that the file zkServer.sh set the variable ZOO_LOG_FILE and overrides the value that is define in the log4j.properties:
ZOO_LOG_FILE=zookeeper-$USER-server-$HOSTNAME.log
I can modify this file but Is it ok to change that manually?
After searching I found this link but I didn't found how to change the variable for the log, I noticed that inside the file zkServer.sh is defined the name of the file, so I needed to change this variable:
_ZOO_DAEMON_OUT="$ZOO_LOG_DIR/zookeeper-$USER-server-$HOSTNAME.out"
I don't know if it's ok to change that variable but now is working as expected.
