1. Are you running the AMS with proper Heap Settings? (Or with default values) Sometimes due to insufficient heap setting this can happen. Please refer to the following doc to know how to tune the AMS memory settings based on the number of nodes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Configurations+-+Tuning

2. If it still crashes then once you should try to perform the AMS data cleanup and then see if it comes up fine. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Cleaning+up+Ambari+Metrics+System+Data

3. Are you running AMS in Embedded Mode (Default) or Distributed Mode (external HBase) ?

First check the value of `zookeeper.znode.parent` in HBase. Set it to the same value in Ambari,

Kill all the metrics processes running on the node.

`ps -ef | grep metrics` and kill all of them as they were caching the `/hbase` value.

Watch the ambari metrics collector logs ( /var/log/ambari-metrics-collector/ambari-metrics-collector.log) while you do the below steps

Steps:

0. tail -f /var/log/ambari-metrics-collector/ambari-metrics-collector.log

1. Stop Ambari

2. Kill all the metrics processes

3. curl --user admin:admin -i -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X DELETE http://`hostname -f`:8080/api/v1/clusters/CLUSTERNAME/services/AMBARI_METRICS

=> Make sure you replace CLUSTERNAME with your cluster name

4. Refresh Ambari UI

5. Add Service

6. Select Ambari Metrics

7. In the configuration screen, make sure to set the value of `zookeeper.znode.parent` to what is configured in the HBase service. By default in Ambari Metrics it is set to empty value.

8. Deploy

In embedded mode then hbase.cluster.distributed should be false, and hbase.rootdir set to a local directory using the "file://" scheme.
