Ambari 2.1.2 - how to add check/alert for HBase-REST ?

[#1]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to integrate a check&alert for Stargate (HBase-REST API) which is running on one node of the cluster.

What are the available options, if any 😉 ?!?!

Ambari 2.1.2 / HDP2.2.4

Thanks in advance, Gerd

@Gerd Koenig you need to dive deep into the Ambari Metrics and Alerts API. This is not something supported out of the box. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Alerts

@Gerd Koenig you know we expect an article from you on doing just that, end to end hbase rest and alerting. A very simple approach would be to have an always-on script checking for service up or down. Going the API way is a lot better for obvious reasons.

Hi @Artem Ervits , if I will find the time to do so, I'll post an article here, for sure 😉
