Chapter 20. Customizing Ambari Log + PID Directories
Ambari Server and Agents write log activity output to .log files and use a .pid file that contains the process identification number for their running process. The log files and .pid file are found on their respective hosts in following default locations:
- Ambari Server
/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log/var/run/ambari-server/ambari-server.pid- Ambari Agent
/var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.log/var/run/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.pid
You can configure the logging level for ambari-server.log by modifying
/etc/ambari-server/conf/log4j.properties on the Ambari Server host. For
the Ambari Agents, you can set the loglevel in
/etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini on each host running an Ambari
Agent. In general, you should also consider setting log-rotate policies for your systems.
Refer to your operating system documentation for more information on setting up log-rotate in your environment.
You can also modify these locations. Use the following instructions:
