monitoring flume in a clustered environment using ambari

[#1]

Hi all,

I have an ambari-managed cluster in which there are 2 ingestion server on which runs Flume.

While I need to have different flume agents, I have to define them on ambari and make them run only on one server. So, I need to start a single agent on server ingestion1 and stop it on server ingestion2. This way, ambari check the flume service as stopped and send me a notification about this.

Is there a way to monitor flume in this configuration, or I can tell ambari to not define the single agent in both servers?

Thank you,

D.

Not completely sure what you mean but it is possible to create separate config groups for these two hosts. ( Manage Config Groups at the top of the config page ). This means you could create a config for host1 and a different config for host2. I don't think its possible to start/stop them separately through ambari though. Unless you go directly to the host and start/stop them there.

You're right, I had not though about config groups!

Sorry and thank you a lot! 🙂
