ambari rest api for metrics

[#1]

Is there rest api which can fetch all the details what metrics monitors collects or metrics collector does ?

Thanks in advance

There is not Rest API call which can be used to capture the whole Metrics Monitors/Collectors Data in form of a file.

However you can query these data from the AMS collector Hbase database using utilities like sqlline as desceribed in

As mentioned on the other thread: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/172151/data-source-for-ambari-metrics-collector.html?chi...

is there some way I can get data what metrics monitor collect system-level metrics and publish to the Metrics Collector.

other than using sqlline .

where does metrics monitor collects system level metrics ?

@Anurag Mishra

You can use Grafana to get the Host Level metrics which are sent by Ambari Metrics Monitor to Ambari Metrics Collector, By creating a custom dashboard. (Still it will be in form of Graph and not a single file with whole data)

Like: In following case i created a New Dashboard with "HOST" metrics and the metrics name is "byte_in" with Aggregator as "avg"

.

However one thing you can try:

You can make the following API call to query individual Host metrics for a specific time range.

example:

# curl -v "http://amb25102.example.com:6188/ws/v1/timeline/metrics?metricNames=bytes_in._rate._avg&hostname=&appId=HOST&instanceId=&startTime=1451630974&endTime=1519110315"

.

However in this case you will need to keep changing the metrics name like "byte_in" ....

The time range you can take longer like "1451630974" means starting from 1 Jan 2016 , till "1519110315" means now.

NOTE: However as mentioned earlier there is no Single API call that can be used to fetch all the AMS collector data.

@Jay Kumar SenSharma

can you please brief about all metricsNames AMS has or location for the same where I can check ?

@Anurag Mishra

Some of the metrics list you can find here that are exposed to the AMS collector:

For All kind of metrics:

https://github.com/apache/ambari/tree/release-2.6.1/ambari-server/src/main/resources/common-services...

.

For particularly host specific metrics names you can refer to:

https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/release-2.6.1/ambari-server/src/main/resources/common-services...

Hi Jay,

curl -v "http://amb25102.example.com:6188/ws/v1/timeline/metrics?metricNames=bytes_in._rate._avg&hostname=&appId=HOST&instanceId=&startTime=1451630974&endTime=1519110315"

This rest api not working for For All kind of metrics:.

I have replaced bytes_in._rate._avg to master.Server.numDeadRegionServers

curl -v "http://amb25102.example.com:6188/ws/v1/timeline/metrics?metricNames=master.Server.numDeadRegionServers&hostname=&appId=HOST&instanceId=&startTime=1451630974&endTime=1519110315"

but not able to get the metrics results .
