I want to avoid using the REST API to force the status. And even though the service is marked as down, there is no option to run a service check.

The incorrect status was caused by the contents of the zookeeper_server.pid file being out of sync with the running zookeeper process. Updating the file with the proper PID allowed the correct Zookeeper status to be displayed in Ambari.

@Jonas Straub I've run into that problem also but the issue I was referring to was the fact that Ambari was reporting incorrect status of the process. I think in situations when the PID file already exists the error message is very direct and indicates exactly what the problem is (which is good)

You're right that might be a bug and should be raised with the engineering/support team.
