Hi Sriharsha, The problem with doing that is, the path becomes relative to the current working directory from where the Kafka (startup) script was run. For example, if Kafka was installed at /opt/kafka and if someone started the Kafka server, while currently being in /home/me/ folder: ``` [/home/me]$ /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/server.properties ``` then the Kafka data logs will end up being in a folder relative to /home/me instead of the /opt/kafka installation path. - Jaikiran ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
