How to switch off the log rotation in hadoop.

The log rotation is currently done by the log4j. I am trying to collect individual log file details and also SEV levels

@sanjeevan mahajan every config has a log4j properties section on every service, go to the service you need and adjust log4.properties configuration as desired. here you go https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/8882/how-to-control-size-of-log-files-for-various-hdp-c.h...

@Artem Ervits : Thanks a lot for the reply. So for Kafka in the above document we need to comment (hash) below mentioned properties

1. Comment out the appender’s date pattern:
   1. #log4j.appender.kafkaAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
   1. #log4j.appender.kafkaAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender

same log4j rules apply, it's no different than what you would do without Ambari. @sanjeevan mahajan
