Ambari Metrics Won't Install

[#1]

On a 6 node cluster, using Ambari 2.1.2/HDP 2.3.2.

Scenario 1:

When installing HDP and it goes to a point where it's installing the services across all nodes, it suddenly fails and it's due to Ambari Metrics/Monitors failing. Full stack trace below from Ambari UI.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Running the same command from the last line of the error yields the same response. There were no Ambari Metrics log generated. Ambari server log didn't any info.

Scenario 2:

I reset ambari-server and cleanup all hosts. Re-run ambari wizard and install all services except for Ambari Metrics. HDP installed successfully. I now added Ambari Metrics back and I'm getting the same error.

[#2]

@rgarcia why can't you just all together

#drop the database and then retry if it fails

Then just yum remove postgresql* and reinstall yum install postgresql*

That could be much faster though I know the urge to know why is unavoidable

[#3]

I am also getting the same issue when you say drop postgresql will it affect any other services.

What will be the exact steps to install ambari metrics I have installed the rest of the HDP things but metrics collector is saying nothing to do error.

[#4]

I am getting the same error on Ambari metrics collector install "noting to do" can you please be more specific what are the steps to solve this issue. I have checked the repos all looks good and was able to deploy all other components of HDP now trying to install metrics collector and am stuck.

Help is highly appreciated.

As of Thu 3 Mar 2016 this continues to fail during fresh HDP 2.4 installation using Ambari

Same problem here installing HDP 2.4.

I think this might be related to manual install of ambari agents.

On my clients, i have AMBARI/HDP/HDP-UTILS local repositories but these are not enabled by default (several versions in .repo files.)

I believe Ambari server should --enablerepo=AMBARI-<VERSION> when installing ambari-metrics-collector, just like it does with HDP,HDP-UTILS.

For now i installed manually ambari-metrics-collector.

[#7]

Please try to add back repositories

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/2.x/updates/2.2.1.0

[#8]

Add the repository containing the updates. Refer to this link. Try to re-install metrics-collector.

[#9]

I hit the same issue. In my case I was missing the yum ambari repository. I fixed with the command below. This command works for ambari version 2.4.1.0 on Red Hat 7. Make sure you add the correct repo for your OS and ambari version.

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos7/2.x/updates/2.4.1.0/ambari.repo

[#10]

,

1.add this command

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos7/2.x/updates/2.4.1.0/ambari.repo

2.

yum upgrade ambari-metrics-monitor ambari-metrics-hadoop-sink

3.

yum install ambari-metrics-hadoop-sink

Ambari-metrics installed
