Ambari-Metrics collector not starting

When I start ambari-metrics collector, there is no error in starting but it never starts. When I checked the log file, below is what I see:

I could finally solve it by combining some of the steps mentioned above.

I first checked what is the value of `zookeeper.znode.parent` in HBase. I tried setting that same value in Ambari, but that did not work because some of the metrics processes were already running on that machine. So, i had to `ps -ef | grep metrics` and kill all of them as they were caching the `/hbase` value.

Watch the ambari metrics collector logs ( /var/log/ambari-metrics-collector/ambari-metrics-collector.log) while you do the below steps

Steps:

0. tail -f /var/log/ambari-metrics-collector/ambari-metrics-collector.log

1. Stop Ambari

2. Kill all the metrics processes

3. curl --user admin:admin -i -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X DELETE http://`hostname -f`:8080/api/v1/clusters/CLUSTERNAME/services/AMBARI_METRICS

=> Make sure you replace CLUSTERNAME with your cluster name

4. Refresh Ambari UI

5. Add Service

6. Select Ambari Metrics

7. In the configuration screen, make sure to set the value of `zookeeper.znode.parent` to what is configured in the HBase service. By default in Ambari Metrics it is set to empty value.

8. Deploy

what ambari version is this?

avatar

@Jonas Straub

Ambari version is 2.2.0.0

Thanks

If you have a kerberized environment, make sure hbase.regionserver.kerberos.principal and hbase.master.kerberos.principal are the same, this caused some issues in the past.

Also set the zookeeper.znode.parent to /ams-hbase if you have NOT kerberized your env. otherwise set it to /ams-hbase-secure

Stop all Ambari Metrics components, log into the machine and make sure there is no running metrics process (ps aux | grep metrics)

Start Metrics again and check the Hbase Master and Metrics Collector log (both in /var/log/ambari-metrics/collector/....)

Are you using a distributed or embedded mode?

Could you please post the following configurations:

  • hbase.rootdir
  • hbase.cluster.distributed
  • Metrics service operation mode
  • hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort
  • hbase.zookeeper.quorum

Thanks!

I changed /hbase to /ams-hbase and restarted but no success

hbase.rootdir  --hdfs://hdp-m.samitsolutions.com:8020/apps/hbase/data
hbase.cluster.distributed   -  TRUE
Metrics service operation mode - embedded
hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort  -- 2181
hbase.zookeeper.quorum --- hdp-m.samitsolutions.com

out of metrics-collector log:

Since hbase.cluster.distributed is true, could you please change "Metrics service operation mode" to "distributed"

avatar
Master Mentor

@Prakash Punj

Edit your /conf/hbase-site.xml in the Hbase folder config directory or add:

<property>

<name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>

<value>YOUR ZOOKEEPER FOLDER</value>

</property>

For example:

<property>

<name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>

<value>/home/myname/zookeeper-3.4.6</value>

</property>

Still the same result. Wondering if its a good idea to wipe-out all the ambari-metrics component and re-install the service. What's the clean process of doing it..

Thanks

You dont have to remove and reinstall the ambari metrics service from Ambari, I am pretty sure this will not solve the problem!

Please see my comment above => Since hbase.cluster.distributed is true, could you please change "Metrics service operation mode" to "distributed"

If this is a new installation, you can try to remove all Metrics data:

  1. Stop Ambari Metrics (Collector + all monitors)
  2. Make sure no Metrics process is running (you can kill all processes belonging to user "ams")
  3. Remove data from hdfs (hdfs dfs -rmr hdfs://hdp-m.samitsolutions.com:8020/apps/hbase/data)
  4. Remove data from zookeeper (login: zookeeper-client -server hdp-m.samitsolutions.com:2181; removal: rmr /<hbase znode>)
  5. Start the Ambari Metrics Collector (not the monitors!)
  6. See if the collector starts, if not please upload the hbase-master and ambari-metrics-collector log

Is this a secured (kerberized) or unsecured (no kerberos) cluster?

There are other steps we can try, but lets try the above first.

Thanks
