I am using it on a Debian 10 system. You might look in ufw.conf
cat /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
# /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
#
# Set to yes to start on boot. If setting this remotely, be sure to add a rule
# to allow your remote connection before starting ufw. Eg: 'ufw allow 22/tcp'
ENABLED=yes
# Please use the 'ufw' command to set the loglevel. Eg: 'ufw logging medium'.
# See 'man ufw' for details.
LOGLEVEL=low
When I run
ufw status
Status: active
