HDP2.4 Ranger HDFS Audit / Solr

[#1]

Hi,

I was trying to setup ranger-hdfs-audit plugin and I can see it's successfully audting to hdfs and DB.

However the Audit UI doesn't show any data with message 'No Access Audit found!'

In Ranger xa_portal.log I see this error

2016-08-09 06:22:40,790 [http-bio-6080-exec-3] FATAL org.apache.ranger.solr.SolrMgr (SolrMgr.java:121) - Solr ZKHosts and URL for Audit are empty. Please set property ranger.audit.solr.zookeepers or ranger.audit.solr.urls 2016-08-09 06:22:40,791 [http-bio-6080-exec-3] WARN org.apache.ranger.solr.SolrAccessAuditsService (SolrAccessAuditsService.java:127) - Solr client is null, so not running the query. 2016-08-09 06:22:40,792 [http-bio-6080-exec-3] INFO org.apache.ranger.common.RESTErrorUtil (RESTErrorUtil.java:64) - Request failed. SessionId=816, loginId=admin, logMessage=Error connecting to search engine

I have not selected Solr anywhere, Is it possible to not use Solr?

Thanks,

Avijeet

Hi @Avijeet Dash - audit to Solr is now enabled by default. You can go into Ranger Configs in Ambari and disable it using the slider button as in the screenshot below:

@Avijeet Dash

Can you check the value of property is set to "db"-

Services-> Ranger>Configs-> Advance->"ranger.audit.source.type"

Else you can search for "solr" in filter search tab and check if you have set solr anywhere in config.

Let me know if that works.
