Chapter 46. ZookeeperClusterSpec schema reference

Use the config properties to configure ZooKeeper options as keys.

The values can be one of the following JSON types:

Exceptions

You can specify and configure the options listed in the ZooKeeper documentation.

However, Streams for Apache Kafka takes care of configuring and managing options related to the following, which cannot be changed:

Properties with the following prefixes cannot be set:

If the config property contains an option that cannot be changed, it is disregarded, and a warning message is logged to the Cluster Operator log file. All other supported options are forwarded to ZooKeeper, including the following exceptions to the options configured by Streams for Apache Kafka:

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...
    config:
      autopurge.snapRetainCount: 3
      autopurge.purgeInterval: 2
    # ...

ZooKeeper has a configurable logger:

ZooKeeper uses the Apache log4j logger implementation.

Use the logging property to configure loggers and logger levels.

You can set the log levels by specifying the logger and level directly (inline) or use a custom (external) ConfigMap. If a ConfigMap is used, you set logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. Both logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. A ConfigMap using the exact logging configuration specified is created with the custom resource when the Cluster Operator is running, then recreated after each reconciliation. If you do not specify a custom ConfigMap, default logging settings are used. If a specific logger value is not set, upper-level logger settings are inherited for that logger. For more information about log levels, see Apache logging services.

Here we see examples of inline and external logging. The inline logging specifies the root logger level. You can also set log levels for specific classes or loggers by adding them to the loggers property.
