Hi Max! Unfortunately, that's not the behavior I'm seeing.
I verified my log4.properties is configured properly because I do see messages in the /log directory. However, for this stack trace (grabbed from the web dashboard), I do not see it in my log file: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not forward element to next operator at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.collect(OperatorChain.java:354) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.collect(OperatorChain.java:337) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSource$NonTimestampContext.collect(StreamSource.java:158) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.FromElementsFunction.run(FromElementsFunction.java:127) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSource.run(StreamSource.java:78) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.SourceStreamTask.run(SourceStreamTask.java:56) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:225) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:559) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Here's my sample program: val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment env .fromCollection(List(1)) .filter(element => { throw new RuntimeException("Throwing a runtime to test exception logging :)") }) env.execute("MyTestJobName") The error is thrown in Task.java[1] and it was hard to track where flink would actually log to the log file.
