Description

Version : Cassandra 4.0 RC1

Settings in my : <CASSANDRA_HOME>/conf/cassandra.yaml 

audit_logging_options: 
    enabled: true
     logger: 
      - class_name: FileAuditLogger
     excluded_categories: QUERY, DML
     audit_logs_dir: "/apps/opt/cassandra/logs/audit"
     roll_cycle: DAILY
     block: false

 After restart of Cassandra ... I can see the Audit Logs. But they are going into system.log and debug.log. They are NOT going into 

"/apps/opt/cassandra/logs/audit/audit.log"

 

Also noticed that : it does not ignore the "excluded_categories" and logs everything ...
