You can set the max number of days to retain access logs in the Ranger Admin Web
UI.
Ranger admin access log files accrue in the following path:
/var/log/ranger/admin/access_log.yyyy-mm-dd.log. By
default, these files aren't removed which consumes free space in the
/var/ directory. You can set a maximum number of days for
which these files are retained, after which they are deleted. To do so, you must add
a configuration property to the ranger-admin-site.xml file.
