Changing permissions on auditing files

After enabling auditing plugin, the log file owner is being 'mysql' if I set 'server_audit_output_type' variable to FILE. However, if I set 'server_audit_output_type' variable to SYSLOG, it's owner is being 'root'. Is there a way to identify any user as the owner of the log file instead of root or mysql? Thanks for your helping.

Hi, thanks for your question.

Did you take a look at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-audit-plugin-system-variables and https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/configuring-mariadb-with-option-files/.

The last documentation will help you to configure mariadb server to run under another user (and log file owner).

BTW, can I ask you why you would change the owner of the log file?

Regards,

Faustin
