Apache Atlas not working - green in Cloudera Manager but got 503 Service Unavailable ERROR - CDP 7.1.6

yacine_ — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:55:56 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have installed CDP 7.1.6 cluster, with kerberos and TLS enabled.

All services works fine except Atlas I get the error:

HTTP ERROR 503 Service Unavailable
URI: /
STATUS: 503
MESSAGE: Service Unavailable

Needed kafka topics, hbase tables and Solr collections all are created, needed policies on Ranger too are good

I cannot neither enable the service Atlas for HBase

I don't have any Error on atlas application.log :

Any idea ?

I finally managed to resolve this problem with the help of the cloudera support

we have below error in log

---------- WARN - [main:]
~ Failed startup of context o.e.j.w.WebAppContext@6c5945a7{/,file:///opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-7.1.6-1.cdh7.1.6.p0.10506313/lib/atlas/server/webapp/atlas/,UNAVAILABLE}
{/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-7.1.6-1.cdh7.1.6.p0.10506313/lib/atlas/server/webapp/atlas} 
(WebAppContext:533) java.net.ConnectException: Connexion terminée par expiration du délai d'attente (Connection timed out)

it seems to be a known issue :

https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Customer/quot-HTTP-ERROR-503-Service-Unavailable-URI-quot-when-Atlas/ta-p/317412

So the solution is :

in each Atlas host

- Delete the following lines from /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-7.1.6-1.cdh7.1.6.p0.10506313/lib/atlas/server/webapp/atlas/WEB-INF/web.xml

20 <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"

- Restart ATLAS
