How do one read the Zookeeper transaction log?

Question

Are there any existing tools that help to read the Zookeeper transaction log? By default, it is in binary format and I would like to read it in human readable form.

Accepted Answer

I don't know if you have solved this question.

```
cd /your/zookeeper/directory/
```

If you want to read snapshots, use:

```
java -cp zookeeper-3.4.6.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar:lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar:lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar org.apache.zookeeper.server.SnapshotFormatter version-2/snapshot.xxx
```

If you want to read logs, use:

```
java -cp zookeeper-3.4.6.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar:lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar:lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar org.apache.zookeeper.server.LogFormatter version-2/log.xxx
```
