Really, what I'd like to see is a status on the parsers in the management
UI that indicates that those parsers should be running all the time and a REST
call to validate that they are running or not. I'd then expect ambari to call
the REST call and fail the service check if any of the installed sensors that
are marked as running aren't running.
What we have now is that list in Ambari and ambari managing to start them
and stop them. I'd prefer to delegate teh starting and stopping of sensors to
the management UI and JUST have ambari interact with the REST API to indicate
whether the current state is nominal. That, however, is really more of a topic
for a discuss thread, though.
