I am trying to create a Ranger plugin audit directory on HBase programmatically using an API. However, I couldn't find any relevant API or documentation that explains how to achieve this.

Hello @tejan08

Thank you for reaching out to community

I did not find the exact API for this but you can have a look at the below API it will prepare all the new services

On CM UI >> Support >> API Explorer and the below API's

POST/clusters/{clusterName}/commands/firstRun

Give it a try and let me know if that helps else we can manually create that directory in hdfs as well

Hello @upadhyayk04
As the API was not found in API explorer so, I did some testing and found out this
POST/clusters/{clusterName}/services/commands/RangerPluginCreateAuditDir
