how do I configure log4j.properties for zookeeper?

Hi,

I have HDP 2.4.0 with Ambari 2.2.1.

I tried to modify log4j.properti by advancec-zookeeper-log4j but when you restart of zookeeper, the server has not acquired the changes.

I saw that in the file zkEnv.sh

if [ "x${ZOO_LOG4J_PROP}" = "x" ]
then
    ZOO_LOG4J_PROP="INFO,ROLLINGFILE"
fi

I tried to set DEBUG but has not changed the logging level

Can you try to change that via Ambari Zookeeper config?

Ambari will overwrite everything in the config files that you change directly on the filesystem

Ok, in advaced zookeeper.log4j set:

log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.File=${zookeeper.log.dir}/zookeeper.log

${zookeeper.log.dir} is missing in defaul configuration.
