This is a bug that is fixed in Ranger 0.6.0 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-859
As a workaround, you can create symlinks under /var/log/ranger to point to <your-custom-logpath> From: Lune Silver <lunescar.ran...@gmail.com<mailto:lunescar.ran...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "user@ranger.incubator.apache.org<mailto:user@ranger.incubator.apache.org>" <user@ranger.incubator.apache.org<mailto:user@ranger.incubator.apache.org>> Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 11:08 AM To: "user@ranger.incubator.apache.org<mailto:user@ranger.incubator.apache.org>" <user@ranger.incubator.apache.org<mailto:user@ranger.incubator.apache.org>> Subject: Ranger does not take into account the logging properties from ambari Hello ! I'm using HDP 2.3.2 with ambari 2.2.1 and I have a problem with ranger which does not take into account the logging dir I set in the conf. I set the following properties in the tab advanced -> Advanced ranger-env : - ranger_admin_log_dir = <mylogpath>/ranger/admin - ranger_usersync_log_dir = <mylogpath>/ranger/usersync And in the advanced -> Advanced ranger-ugsync-site : - ranger.usersync.logdir = <mylogpath>/ranger/usersync But when I check in the server where I installed ranger, there is no logs in these folders. The only logs are in the default paths : in /var/log/ranger/admin and /var/log/ranger/usersync. Do you know why ranger keeps writing in the default paths please ? BR. Gwenael Le Barzic
