Is there a way in ambari to find dependencies of services on each other?

[#1]

I want to get a list of services that are dependent on a particular service. Is there a direct api call to do that?

@vrathod

Ambari services uses "metainfo.xml" file which provides the information about the dependencies "the list of components that this component depends on"

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Writing+metainfo.xml

For example if we want to see "HIVE_SERVER" service is dependent on which all components.

The following ambari API can be used to see the required components list by a particular service like "Hive"

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/2.5/services/HIVE

required_services: ["ZOOKEEPER",
"HDFS",
"YARN",
"TEZ",
"PIG",
"SLIDER"
],

.

@Jay SenSharma Right, this gives me the services required for Hive. But what if I want to find what services are dependent on Hive? Maybe I can reverse look up by making this call for each service

Please accept the thread, if you do not have any further query related to this HCC thread.

You can use stack service API

e.g http://<AMBARI_SERVER_HOST>/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/<HDP_VERSION/services/<SERVICE_NAME>;

And use required_services from the response.
