Description:
I've configured the Audit Log plugin to write to a directory outside datadir (/usr/local/mysql-audit-output/audit.log) and given appropriate privileges to the directory (owned by mysql:mysql, same as datadir, and 700).  The Audit Log plugin indicates it looks for logs in the correct location, but none are listed - see screenshot.  I've also tried setting 777 on the audit log directory and contents (obviously not recommended, done for diagnostic purposes), but that also has no effect.  There is no entry in the WB log.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Identify correct files.
