How to monitor Ambari itself ?

[#1]

Hello,

We have Ambari Server/agents monitoring our 16 Node cluster and popping up alerts for any issue with the Farm.

However the entire monitoring would go for a toss if Ambari Server goes itself goes down, we dont have HA for Ambari. So can we setup any script which keeps monitoring Ambari services ?

@HEMEN KOTECHA heads up ambari HA should be available in ambari version 2.5.

In the meantime what you could do is enable jmx on ambari server. via jmx client you can pull stats and determine if server is up or not.
