I have just made a fresh install of Apache Flume 1.11.0 and have been able to run the sample agent. I am now trying to figure out where Flume creates log files but I can't seem to find it.
It's not in the directory where I am running the agent and it's not in the home directory, It's also not in /var/log.
I even created a logs directory in $FLUME_HOME and made sure the correct user owned the directory.
This version of flume had a log4j2.xml file instead of log4j.properties. I modified the <Property name="LOG_DIR"> tag with an absolute URL, but this didn't fix the problem.
I even tried creating an log4j.properties file with no success.
Does Apache flume generate log files? Where can I find them? and why is none of this documented?
