Understanding the Ranger Audit Profiler

You can view who has accessed which data from a forensic audit or compliance perspective, visualize access patterns, and identify anomalies in access patterns using the Ranger audit profiler.

The audit profiler uses the Apache Ranger audit logs to show the most recent raw audit event data as well as summarized views of audits by type of access and access outcomes (allowed/denied). Such summarized views are obtained by profiling audit records in the data lake with the audit profiler.
