this is resolved.

after checking /var/log/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase-ams-master-XXXX.log

found

checked keytabs files under /etc/security/keytabs/ams-hbase.master.keytab

so deleted that keytab file and generated new keytab with valid entries and placed on the metrics-collector host under /etc/security/keytabs

restarted metrics-collector service the service started.
