Customizing Ambari agent log and pid directories

To modify the Ambari agent log and pid locations:

1. Using a command line editor on each host running an Ambari agent, stop the Ambari agent.
   ambari-agent stop
2. Edit the Ambari agent properties file.
   vi /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini
3. In the [AGENT] section, modify the piddir and logdir properties.

   [AGENT]
   logdir=/var/log/ambari-agent
   piddir=/var/run/ambari-agent

4. Save the ambari-agent.inifile.
5. Create the new directories and be sure to set the directory ownership and permissions to allow the Ambari agent process access.
6. Restart the Ambari agent.
   ambari-agent start
