CDW Impala Audit Logs

andym — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:43:17 GMT

We have a client tool that we use for query log ingestion. For CDH, we were able to provide our audit logs. Is there something comparable to /var/log/impalad/audit/impala_audit_event_log_1.0-* in CDW?

I tried looking in PREFIX + “app=impala-executor-log” based on this article: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdw-runtime/cloud/impala-troubleshooting/topics/impala-logs-s3.html, but did not see what I was looking for.

In CDW it seems we are not storing the audit data in Impala logs.

Please check if the Ranger Audit logs, help you with required information

Ultimately, my issue has not been resolved. But from my understanding it might not be technically a Cloudera issue. I am working with support from our client tool to see how they were able to get what I am looking for when they did their testing.

Thanks,

Andy
