Ambari shows HiveServer2 and Hive Metastore is stopped but they are running

Ambari dashboard is showing HiveServer2 and Hive Metastore is stopped, but from the command line I am able to login into hive cli and hiveserver2 using beeline client also.

I have 6 node cluster in which I have installed hive server in 2 nodes and hive client is installed in all 6 nodes. In node1 ambari dashboard it was showing hiveserver2 and hive metastore is stopped but in node2 it was started.

In node1:

In node2:

When checked the process id which was available in /var/run/hive/hive.pid and hive-server.pid, they are same.

[node1 ~]$ cd /var/run/hive
[node1.staging.iad hive]$ ls
hive.pid  hive-server.pid
[node1 hive]$ cat hive.pid
14037
[node1 hive]$ cat hive-server.pid
16654
[node1 hive]$ ps -ef| grep 14037
