Hi Till, Many thanks for your quick response.
I have modified the WordCountExample to re-reproduce my problem in a simple example. I run the code below with the following command: ./bin/flink run -m yarn-cluster -yn 1 -ys 4 -yjm 1024 -ytm 1024 -c mypackage.WordCountExample ../flinklink.jar And if I check the log file I see all logger messages except the one in the flatMap function of the inner LineSplitter class, which is actually the one I am most interested in. Is that an expected behaviour?

It should be automatically included in the Yarn application. Concerning your logging problem, it might be that you have set the logging level too high. Could you share the code with us?

It works fine overall except for the messages I want to show in an inner class that implements org.apache.flink.api.common.aggregators.ConvergenceCriterion. I am very new to this, but it seems that I’m having problems to show the messages included in the isConverged function, as it runs in the task managers? E.g. the log messages in the outer class (before map-reduce operations) are properly shown. I am also interested in providing my own log4j.properties file. I am using the ./bin/flink run -m yarn-cluster on Amazon clusters. Thanks, Ana
