Hi Gwenhaël, as far as I know, there is no direct way to do so. You can either adapt the flink-daemon.sh script in line 68 to use a different configuration or you can test whether the dynamic property -Dlog4j.configurationFile:CONFIG_FILE overrides the -Dlog4j.confguration property. You can set the dynamic property using Flink’s env.java.opts configuration parameter.
