-----------------------------------
Summary: Configuration Monitor - Ability to indicate if the
configurations have been changed manually outside Ambari
Key: AMBARI-8225
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-8225
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Newton Alex
Assignee: Newton Alex
Fix For: 2.0.0
Users who are familiar with Hadoop configurations (or any other service) tend
to change the configuration files directly on the cluster nodes without using
Ambari. It is quicker and convenient for them to just directly change the files
and restart the service on a particular node rather than going through Ambari.
The downside of this is that Ambari doesn’t recognize these changes and
overwrites them during cluster upgrades or while reconfiguring services.
Ambari should not be preventing the users from making changes themselves, as it
would be too restrictive. On the other hand, it would greatly benefit Ambari,
if it is aware of the manual configuration changes on the nodes as it can then
alert the users of the changes before doing any of its own.
