After Zookeeper audit is disable Stopped Working

Question

I wanted to install the Apache Kafka but stuck in installing the Zookeeper

I extracted all the file and created the environment variables as well and now it stopped working after "Zookeeper audit is disabled."

Now after following through these links,

1. https://www.programmersought.com/article/22066571206/
2. https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.6.2/zookeeperAuditLogs.html

I updated both the files (skServer.cmd and conf/zoo.cfg). Adder a line "-Dzookeeper.audit.enable=true" in skServer.cmd file and "audit.enable=true" in conf/zoo.cfg.

Now the output has changed to "Zookeeper audit is Enabled." but still it doesn't do anything and stops there like before.

Output after running the zkServer command with files edited

Even tried changing one file at a time but the same output and still stops working.

Can anyone help me understand the problem and provide a solution as well? Thank you so much.

Answer 1

zookeeper-server-start or zkServer.cmd do not return, by design. It's tailing the logs and waiting for a client connection

You must start a second terminal to run the Kafka broker, as mentioned in the Kafka documentation
