I asked the same question last week. Apparently you can't monitor a cluster that Ambari did not provision. There is a way to migrate your cluster to an Ambari provisioned cluster. But I'm pretty sure Ambari will only provision Apache distributions (not Cloudera or others). Mahadev is working on a confluence page that will document how to migrate an existing cluster to an Ambari provisioned cluster and will reply to the mailing list once completed.
