Looks like the "psutils" libraries are causing the issue. So please try the following steps to fix it:

1. SSH to the ambari metric monitor host and then stop the ams monitor.

2. Now rebuild the "psutil" module.

# cd /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_monitoring
# python psutil/build.py

3. Now restart ambari metric monitors

I still face the issue. I'm doing a non-root installation. I build the psutil as root which went fine. But when I try to restart the metrics monitor it fails.
