From Ambari Web UI --> Change Log directory for Ranger Usersync, Ranger Admin and Ranger Tagsync, Restart Ranger Service.

Note: If you are not able to change the directories in Ambari UI use below mathod for this,

1. Go to Ranger Service -> Configs -> Advanced -> Advanced ”Advanced ranger-env”.
2. Right click on the value of property “ranger_admin_log_dir” -> Inspect element -> Change the value in element section(in my case value=”/opt/ranger/admin”)-> Hit Enter.

3. In the same tab Right click on the value of property “ranger_usersync_log_dir” -> Inspect element -> Change the value in element section(in my case value=”/opt/ranger/usersync”)-> Hit Enter.

4. Go to ”Advanced ranger-tagsync-site” -> Right click on the value of property “ranger_tagsync_logdir” -> Inspect element -> Change the value in element section(in my case value=”/opt/ranger/tagsync”)-> Hit Enter.

5. Click on save changes and restart the Ranger Whole service and check at the backend in those directories(In my case it is in /opt/ranger/ directory).

@nshelk, to modify a config, configs.sh utility mentioned in Modify configurations can be used. Update the read-only config and restart services/components to have the config take effect.
