@Michael Bronson Looks like you want to fetch the details of "dfs.datanode.data.dir" property. In that case you can try using the following call. (please revert back if you are talking about a slightly different property) Syntax: # curl -sH "X-Requested-By: ambari" -u admin:admin -X GET "http://$AMBARI_HOSTNAME:8080/api/v1/clusters/$CLUSTER_NAME/configurations/service_config_versions?service_name=HDFS&is_current=true" | grep "\"dfs.datanode.data.dir\"" Example: # curl -sH "X-Requested-By: ambari" -u admin:admin -X GET "http://amb25101.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/plain_ambari/configurations/service_config_versions?service_name=HDFS&is_current=true" | grep "\"dfs.datanode.data.dir\"" Output: "dfs.datanode.data.dir" : "/hadoop/hdfs/data", .
