Good Afternoon, Am looking to control log4j2 output produced by Kafka...but am having a little difficultly getting this to work as expected. During the kafka producer startup I've added this command: -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=/<whatever>/kafka/producers/log4j2.properties I've created a log4j2.properties file as follows: # Root Logger rootLogger=INFO, STDERR # Direct log messages to stderr appender.console.type = Console appender.console.name = STDERR appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout appender.console.layout.pattern = [%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %C{1} - %msg%n Yet, when I look at STDERR am not seeing the desired messages. Do I need to configure slf4j instead or in conjunction? Anything I'm possibly doing wrong? Anyone with experience on customizing kafka message logging, will to chime in? Thank You, --Alex

Not sure if this is at all helpful, but we also experienced poor performance with Kafka Streams, and it took us quite a while to figure out all the tuning knobs, but we found that in our case we were experiencing extended RocksDB write stalls (overfilling memtables causing RocksDB to stall and eventually pause writes) which led to extended commit periods which led to large application latency gaps... I am not at all sure if you hit the same problem, but I would recommend enabling as many debug metrics as you can handle, turn on RocksDB stats logging, and in our case we ran a Claude Code instance with access to logs, dashboards, JFR dump (incl stack sampling) and it was actually quite good at identifying problematic configuration. You can't trust everything it says, but it can highlight things you didn't even consider... > On Aug 8, 2026, at 6:52 PM, Brebner, Paul via users <users@kafka.apache.org> wrote: > > Hi Tamar, > > Interesting problem...
