Logging not working

[Fabian1976]

The logfile of Zookeeper is not being written.

In my /var/log/messages i get this:

Oct 17 13:24:29 puppetdev-fabian01 java: java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./zookeeper.log (Permission denied)

In the log4j.properties, the zookeeper.log.dir is set to .
So ./zookeeper.log is legit.

In /etc/zookeeper/java.env this is set as the logdir: ZOO_LOG_DIR=/var/log/zookeeper but zookeeper seems to ignore this.

When I change the log4j template on my puppetmaster from this:

zookeeper.log.dir=.

to this

zookeeper.log.dir=<%= scope.lookupvar("zookeeper::log_dir") %>

It works fine.

I use a Satellite with zookeeper 3.4.10 compiled from source using this spec file: spec-file

I found the problem. When the default service_file is used, the log4j.properties file is used (as it should do).

When I set this parameter in my hiera yaml:

zookeeper::manage_service_file: true

The service file is managed by this module and all king of parameters are added as a startup parameter which are also in log4j.properties.

But then is does work.

I still think the log location should be properly set in log4j.properties. Why else use that file if you're going to override the zookeeper.log.dir parameter by adding it to the startup parameter. I believe conf files are there so that there is no need for adding everything as a startup parameter.

Thanks for the report. It should be fixed in v0.7.5 release.
