Driven first-hand experience:

While researching for a Hive Query Metrics UI found this tool called driven.

Step1:

Register for a free trial at http://www.driven.io/hive/

Step2:

Upon clicking the verification link sent over email came to this page:

Click on “Install the Driven Agent”

Step3:

On clicking that two things will happen:

You will be taken to the configuration and install instructions
You will get an email with username and password

Step4:

Click on https://trial.driven.io/index.html#/apps from screenshot 2

You will be in the login screen. Then enter the id and password you got in your email.

Step5:

After logging in you will prompted to change the password. Change that and click submit.

Step6:

You will be logged into the user interface. But since the agent is not installed you cannot view anything. You will be also provided with your API Key.

Step7:

Hive is installed in the cluster in a node named hiveserver. Am going to install driven agent over there.

From a terminal/shell, execute the following commands.

# latest Hive agent bundle

> wget -i http://files.concurrentinc.com/driven/2.1/driven-agent/latest-driven-agent-hive-bundle.txt

# latest MapReduce agent bundle

> wget -i http://files.concurrentinc.com/driven/2.1/driven-agent/latest-driven-agent-mr-bundle.txt

After execution you will see the below jars:

Step8:

Now you need to export the configurations for the user you want "driven" to run:

For Mapreduce 2.x
export YARN_CLIENT_OPTS="-javaagent:/ path/to/driven-agent-mr-<version>.jar=drivenHosts=<driven host>;drivenAPIkey=<driven api key>"
So my export becomes: export YARN_CLIENT_OPTS="-javaagent:/ sbin/driven-agent/driven-agent-mr-2.2.2.jar=drivenHosts=https://trial.driven.io;drivenAPIkey=<mykey>"
**Substitute value of my key For Hive on Tez/MR export HADOOP_OPTS="-javaagent:/path/ to/driven-agent-hive-<version>.jar=drivenHosts=<driven host>;drivenAPIkey=<driven api key>" export HADOOP_OPTS="-javaagent:/sbin/ driven-agent/driven-agent-hive-2.2.2.jar=drivenHosts=https://trial.driven.io;drivenAPIkey=<mykey>"
**Substitute value of my key

I have a user called storm setup in my cluster.

su – storm

export YARN_CLIENT_OPTS="-javaagent:/ sbin/driven-agent/driven-agent-mr-2.2.2.jar=drivenHosts=https://trial.driven.io;drivenAPIkey=<mykey>"

export HADOOP_OPTS="-javaagent:/sbin/ driven-agent/driven-agent-hive-2.2.2.jar=drivenHosts=https://trial.driven.io;drivenAPIkey=<mykey>"

Step9:

Run a program
