tried most of the solutions , posted in the forum, nothing worked.. tried installing psutil python file, cannot resolve this issue..

is there a way to cleanly wipe and fix the issue?

[#2]

the approach below did not work-

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

[#3]

tried various approaches mentioned in

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/24109/ambari-metrics-monitor-cannot-import-name-commonpy...

[#4]

@venu devu Can you try the below and let me know if it works?

cd /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_monitoring/psutil make install

[#5]

still the same issue @rpatel after trying that commmand

[#6]

Its Worked for me .

[#7]

@venu devu

Can you try the below after a backup?

rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_monitoring/psutil/ 
find / -name ambari-metrics-monitor | xargs rm -rf 
yum reinstall ambari-metrics-monitor

@venu devu

Can you verify if gcc and python-devel packages are present on your system?

[#10]

@Aravindan Vijayan yes, they are available Aravinda..
