Hello,

I'm hoping someone can inform me as to whether its possible for Cloudera Manager to "discover" and then continue to monitor pre-installed, configured, and running CDH components? I use SaltStack to programmatically install and configure my cluster to run hbase, hive, impala, oozie, and hue, along with just the core-hadoop processes. The clusters work great. But I'd like to be able to add ClouderManager to the mix, to be able to monitor my cluster after-the-fact. Is that possible at all? My understanding is that both the API and the CM UI force you to re-specify your configuration, and then restart your services, which I would like to avoid.

Can you advise?
