Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

Metric collection

1. Edit the ambari.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Ambari performance data. See the sample ambari.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

   init_config:
   
   instances:
     ## @param url - string - required
     ## The URL of the Ambari Server, include http:// or https://
     #
     - url: localhost
   

2. Restart the Agent.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Edit your ambari.d/conf.yaml by uncommenting the logs lines at the bottom. Update the logs path with the correct path to your Ambari log files.

     logs:
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-alerts.log
         source: ambari
         service: ambari
         log_processing_rules:
             - type: multi_line
               name: new_log_start_with_date
               # 2019-04-22 15:47:00,999
               pattern: \d{4}\-(0?[1-9]|1[012])\-(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])
     ...
   

3. Restart the Agent.
