Hi Gunnar, As of now, the grafana plugin that ships with Ambari is configured to talk to Ambari Metrics Service (AMS) only. It is the AMS REST server (METRICS COLLECTOR) that runs on port 6188. You can add AMS to Ambari if you do not have it already.
You can execute the following from the top level "ambari" directory in ambari git<https://github.com/apache/ambari> repository. cp -R ambari-metrics/ambari-metrics-grafana/ambari-metrics /usr/share/grafana/public/app/plugins/datasource Once the above copying is done, on restart of Grafana, it will have the plugin to talk to an AMS end point. The AMS end point for configuring the new datasource will be the <METRICS_COLLECTOR_HOST>:6188 , and datasource type will be AmbariMetrics. -- Thanks and Regards, Aravindan Vijayan From: Gunnar Tapper Reply-To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" Date: Friday, August 26, 2016 at 10:50 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" Subject: Grafana using Ambari as Data Source Hi, I'm trying to build an application dashboard in Grafana. Some of the data I need is available in Ambari so I'd like to use Ambari as a data source based on the information in: https://github.com/apache/ambari/tree/trunk/ambari-metrics/ambari-metrics-grafana Unfortunately, the information does not seem quite correct. For example, this command doesn't show the correct root directory and I cannot find ambari-metrics-grafana/ambari-metrics. cp -R ambari/ambari-metrics/ambari-metrics-grafana/ambari-metrics /usr/share/grafana/public/app/plugins/datasource I'm running Ambari Version 2.2.2.0. I can see the Ambari metrics in Main.org but fail to create a new Ambari data source using port 6188 against the same URL that the Ambari UI is using even though AmbariMetrics is a viable data source. Error: "Internal Server Error." What am I missing? -- Thanks, Gunnar If you think you can you can, if you think you can't you're right.
