ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console

[#1]

Hi,

I was trying to install Cloudera Manager 6 with CDH 6.3.0 for a 3 node cluster. I have downloaded and installed cloudera-manager-installer.bin in CentOS6 and installed cloudera server and agent. Then I have logged into CM using admin:admin to configure cluster and I stuck here at Add Cluster Configuration step as Upload Oozie ShareLib step failed with no log4j2 file found. PFB logs.

Upload Oozie ShareLib

Also, I have checked in /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log and found the same error message there as well. Is this log4j2 something that I need to install manually before configuring cluster ? If so, please suggest me on how to do that.

stdout and stderr for reference. PFB!!

I myself realized that it's not an issue with log4j2. Basically, the command was getting timed out after 270 seconds as it was set default. So, I have increased the value of below property to 500 and that resolved the issue.. Thanks 🙂

Oozie > Configuration > Search for "Oozie Upload ShareLib Command Timeout" and update the value to 500.
