chen zhu commented on KAFKA-2673: --------------------------------- Hi [~enothereska], currently JmxTool outputs the data to stdout. The output can be easily redirect to a log file if needed. I am not sure if it is useful to specify the file path in the log4j configuration, because in that case user needs to first add a new appender in the config/tools-log4j.properties, and uses the appender for class JmxTool at the INFO level. Can you elaborate a bit more on the benefits of doing so? > Log JmxTool output to logger > ---------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2673 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2673 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1 > Reporter: Eno Thereska > Assignee: chen zhu > Priority: Trivial > Labels: newbie > Fix For: 0.8.1.2 > > > Currently JmxTool outputs the data into a CSV file.
