Source Files from where ambari metrics collector collects data

[#1]

Hi ,

I wanted to check data source from where amabri metrics collector collects metrics and display the details to ambari dashboard .

I already posted some of the questions in the community but I am looking for the data source like log files or some other from where ams collects various info like cpu usage , memory usage ..etc .

ls -l /var/lib/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase

with above I could see the data but I wanted source from where AMS collecting this and then loading here .

Please refer below link for my previous post on this :

@Anurag Mishra Please find the AMS architecture in below docs :

As you can see 'metrics collector' is a daemon which gathers metrics from 'Metrics Monitors' and 'Hadoop Sinks'.

So as far as 'Metric Collector' is concerned , 'Metrics Monitors' and 'Hadoop Sinks' are the datasources for it.

Metrics monitor log could be found under /grid/0/log/metric_monitor/ambari-metrics-monitor.out

But I am not sure if metric monitor and hadoop sync are writing these metric data into any file(As far as I know it doesnt)
