Olivér Szabó updated AMBARI-14690:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
When an ambari agent starts, host system details are registered into ambari 
server database. These values are calculated by ambari-agents based on 
different files on the hosts (e.g : /proc/meminfo). 

In some cases it isn't a correct behavior: If ambari-agent is in a 
docker-container, it will see the same memory/cpu details. (stack advisor also 
uses these values, its possible stack advisor can recommend a too high memory 
value for some services)

Solution: Configurable system resources in ambari-agent.ini (if a value does 
not exist or empty, it will use the default behavior)

{code:java}
[system_resource]
processorcount=2
physicalprocessorcount=2
memorysize=50000
memoryfree=50000
memorytotal=100000
swapsize=20
swapfree=20
...
{code}

In ambari-agent Facter.py set these values, all of the factor info values can 
be redefined in ambari-agent.ini file.

That means ambari is not responsible to gather these values from the system.

- use case: 
During 'docker start' , if there is a script which calls 'ambari-agent start', 
before that, some of the memory values can be replaced/inserted into the 
ambari-agent.ini file in that script. (e.g. the user knows that, 4 ambari-agent 
containers will be started, with the same services, so the real memory needs to 
be devided by 4 etc.)

Facter.py is called during ambari-agent start, so if the values will be 
modified later, ambari-agent needs to be restarted.
