Kafka as a service

["Ivanov, Evgeny" <Ev...@vtbcapital.ru>]

Hi everyone,

I run Kafka server as a service on Linux with the following settings:

[Unit]
Description=Kafka

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=on-abnormal
User=svc_kafka
ExecStart=/app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/config/server.properties
ExecStop=/app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/bin/kafka-server-stop.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And I noticed it doesn’t produce any logs in default KafkaServer.out but writes logs into /var/log/messages

[svc_kafka@smsk02ap432u ~]$ cd /app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/logs
[svc_kafka@smsk02ap432u logs]$ ll
total 183776
-rw-r--r--. 1 svc_kafka sc_unix    34165 Jun  1 16:39 controller.log
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 svc_kafka sc_unix    13225 May 20 16:59 controller.log.2022-05-20-16
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 svc_kafka sc_unix     3252 May 20 17:59 controller.log.2022-05-20-17

Could you please advise how to fix that ?

Also it shows the following status of kafka service when I stop it by ‘sudo systemctl stop kafka’

[svc_kafka@smsk02ap432u log]$ systemctl status kafka
● kafka.service - Kafka
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/kafka.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2022-06-01 16:39:47 MSK; 2h 10min ago
  Process: 4101827 ExecStop=/app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/bin/kafka-server-stop.sh (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 4101387 ExecStart=/app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /app/kafka/kafka_2.13-3.1.0/config/server.properties (code=exited, status=143)
Main PID: 4101387 (code=exited, status=143)

Do you know if it’s ok ?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Evgeny
