Invoke smoke test and get status using Ambari API

[#1]

Is there any way to invoke the smoke test for different HDP components using Ambari API ? also can we check the status of smoke test using API ?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Yes, there is a POST API call. Check this link for an example - Running-Service-Checks

The above would return a requestID

You can then track (poll) the status of the service check request using a GET call by passing the requestID returned from above call. Something like below:

http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:8080/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests/<requestID>;

Track status of above smoke test

curl -u admin:admin -i -H 'X-Requested-By: ambari' -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/clusters/Sandbox/requests/87

Note - request number can be found from http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/clusters/Sandbox/requests url, we should pickup the last request id to check the status.
