Lune, Yes article is about ranger log rotation , but it also has the details of where to look for the log4.xml.
/<ranger-install-folder>/ranger-admin/ews/webapp/WEB-INF/log4j.xml In you have log4j.properties file in that folder edit that following properties, change "warn" to necessary debug level. Log is store in /var/log/ranger/admin folder ( this might be in you case what you have given in install.properties file while you install) log4j.rootLogger = warn,xa_log_appender If you have only log4.xml file then change the value="info" to the debug level want you wanted. <category name="org.apache.ranger" additivity="false"> <priority value="info" /> <appender-ref ref="xa_log_appender" /> </category> Please try this.

I checked log4j doc for log4j.xml and found how to increase log. I think. I dont have any log4j.xml in the confdir of ranger admin. But I have one in the confdir of usersync. Do I have to create a log4j.xml in the ranger admin conf dir ?
