Thanks Gwen!
I made the changes and restarted kafka nodes. Looks like all log files are
still present. Does it take some time to kick in the changes?
Here is the sample of changes:
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.File=${kafka.logs.dir}/state-change.log
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %m (%c)%n
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.MaxBackupIndex=5
.
.
log4j.appender.kafkaAppender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.kafkaAppender.MaxBackupIndex=5
.
.
log4j.appender.controllerAppender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.controllerAppender.MaxBackupIndex=5

Absolutely.
You can go into config/log4j.properties and configure the appenders to roll the
logs.
For example:
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.File=${kafka.logs.dir}/state-change.log
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %m (%c)%n
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.stateChangeAppender.MaxBackupIndex=5
Adding the last two lines will make sure you have 5 state change log files each
100KB.
