Where Apache Kafka keeps its logs

Apache Kafka logs to $KAFKA_HOME/logs/server.log on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Apache Kafka writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
