Configuring Audit types for Ranger

Question by Vijaya Narayana Reddy Bhoomi Reddy May 16, 2018 at 10:35 AM configuration ranger-admin ranger-audit

Hi,

Is there a mechanism to choose particular operations / audit types for auditing in Ranger while ignoring other types? We are exploring the possibility of turning-off logging mechanism for few categories in anticipation of better search performance in RangerSolr.

Regards

Vijay

@Vijaya Narayana Reddy Bhoomi Reddy I know is possible to turn off auditing per policy basis. I'm not sure if possible to do this at operation level. To setup per policy basis there is a switch on Ranger Admin UI > Edit Policy that yo can turn off and this will avoid auditing for this specific policy.

HTH

Thanks @Felix Albani I am aware that we can turn on/off auditing at a policy level. However, I am looking at granular control at operations level so that we can disable logging for some operations which are perceived as unimportant.
