Why does zookeeper not use my log4j.properties file log directory

Question

In my zookeeper/conf/log4j.properties file I set the zookeeper.log.dir to $HOME/zklogs

When I use zkServer.sh it does not use that directory. Instead it uses the ${Z

Answer 1

Maybe not the sought answer, but for zookeeper-3.4.11 in the conf directory you can set the appropriate levels and configuration in the file log4j.properties
