Logging configuration in 0.9

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

for some odd reason I am not getting any logs written out with 0.9 (if I
start ES with the init.d script it dumps all of the entries to stdout) ..
The final ES command is as follows :

java -Xms12g -Xmx12g -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75
-XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
-Delasticsearch -Des.pidfile=/var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid
-Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -cp
:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch-0.90.0.jar:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/sigar/
-Des.config=/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml
-Des.path.conf=/usr/share/elasticsearch/config
-Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch
-Des.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Des.path.data=/var/lib/elasticsearch
-Des.path.work=/tmp/elasticsearch
-Des.path.plugins=/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins
org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticSearch

/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/logging.yml (I tried it both using the
variables and hardcoding the path -
the uncommented line should be result when those var are evaluated..):

I get the same symptoms if I use the service wrapper as well - with the
exception that the log entries go to the wrapper log instead of what I have
configured in logging.yml . The paths are set in every possible place I can
think of (paths.* in elasticsearch.yml and with the -D switch - which
brings me to a question - which options take precedence ?)

rootLogger: INFO,file
logger:

log action execution errors for easier debugging

action: DEBUG

reduce the logging for aws, too much is logged under the default INFO

com.amazonaws: WARN

file: /var/log/elasticsearch/cmdb-test.log
layout:

conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n"

java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

... the log directory is owned by ES process user so def. not a perms
issue .. What am I doing wrong ? This config works fine in 19.8 ... Thanks
for any help in advance.

You should add the $ES_HOME/config/logging.yml to your classpath

... -cp $ES_HOME/config:...

In case, take care you have the slf4j and log4j jars in the classpath -
they should be already in $ES_HOME/lib.

Yep that was the issue - Huh super odd - log4j jar was not included in the
rpm .. And I think I tried this with an older version jar as well and had
no output as well ... Thanks.
