Hi Sholmi,
kafka-run-class.sh uses config/tools-log4.properties. The
config it has writes to console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
If you want to save the log output from kafka-run-class change the above
appender to use DailyRollingFileAppender. for ex
log4j.appender.kafkaAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.kafkaAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.kafkaAppender.File=${kafka.logs.dir}/kafka-tools.log
and export LOG_DIR as you did before.
