[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-5988) document hive audit log

["Lefty Leverenz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5988?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13844176#comment-13844176 ] 

Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5988:
--------------------------------------

This information can go in the Getting Started wikidoc, which has a section on [Error Logs|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-ErrorLogs], but it should also go in either the admin docs or the user docs, or both.  Perhaps just mention it in appropriate places with links to Getting Started.

* Is there enough information for a separate wikidoc, or is it just what's in the description here?

* If not, would the user doc [Authorization|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Authorization] be an appropriate place for it?

* In the admin docs, Configuration has a skimpy section that links to log file information in Getting Started and the WebHCat docset:  [Log Files|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-LogFiles].
