> Document how to customize GC logging options for broker

> Key: KAFKA-4249
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4249
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
> Reporter: Jim Hoagland
> Assignee: Tom Bentley
>
> We wanted to enable GC logging for Kafka broker and saw that you can set
> GC_LOG_ENABLED=true. However, this didn't do what we wanted. For example,
> the GC log will be overwritten every time the broker gets restarted. It
> wasn't clear how we could do that (no documentation of it that I can find),
> so I did some research by looking at the source code and did some testing and
> found that KAFKA_GC_LOG_OPTS could be set with alternate JVM options prior to
> starting broker. I posted my solution to StackOverflow:
>
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39854424/how-to-enable-gc-logging-for-apache-kafka-brokers-while-preventing-log-file-ove
> (feel free to critique)
> That solution is now public, but it seems like the Kafka documentation should
> say how to do this.
