Different options, Ambari tells you the version in the about page but if you are not sure about the agents you might have mixed installations?

So the definitive way is:

yum list | grep ambari-agent

yum list | grep ambari-server

in linux as root.

Hi @Pradeep kumar

1, If you have installed ambari server then you can find version using below steps -

Point your browser to http://{ambari.server.hostname}:8080. Log in to the Ambari Server using the default username/password: admin/admin[unless you have changed the login password]. Once login pls dropdown "admin" tab located on top right side of the webui and click on "About". This will display the ambari server version. Pls find screenshot for the same -

As mentioned by @Benjamin Leonhardi you can use yum and also the rpm command to display ambari server and agent version, as shown below -

[Note: Make sure you have root/superuser login on server.]

2. If you have not installed Ambari-server or agent and just want to explore information prior to installation then please refer link for the version and release details -

Let me know if this helps you out for what you are looking for.
