error reading ‘kafka-logs’: Is a directory

Hi,

Why do I get this error in the logs for v8.x?

==> kafka-logs <==
tail: error reading ‘kafka-logs’: Is a directory
tail: kafka-logs: cannot follow end of this type of file; giving up on this
name

Here is what I have in the config file

log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs

Is this a major issue?

Thanks

David,

There should be log files in the "/tmp/kafka-logs" folder.
