Ambari Dashboard Logs

[#1]

Hi,

I'm currently working with the Ambari logs and I just wanted to ask does the Ambari Dashboard has its own log (widget's data)? I tried looking in ambari metrics collector and monitor and failed to look so. Can you guys help me on this, thanks in advance.

Actually, I wanted to monitor the status of components present in the dashboard. For instance, for a certain time in the logs, the Ambari Metrics Monitor as shown changed its status from STARTED to INSTALLED. See image below.

@Scott Shaw: Hi Scott, just wanted to know can I possibly access the REST API of Ambari. Is there a way so that I could further conduct analysis with the data thrown in the collector.
