Thanks for the Info my question is , our current log directory paths are set as var/log/service so to change this to /hadoop/var/log/servce should we create any directories or move the current directories under /var/log or just change the Hadoop Log Dir Prefix to /hadoop/var/log in Ambari fix the issue.
