E.g.: Dashboard metrics : Fetch load average across all nodes of a cluster
http://<ambari-server>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>?fields=metrics/load[1430844925,1430848525,15]&_=1430848532904 |
The above API call retrieves the load average, aggregated across all hosts in the cluster.
...
E.g.: Host metrics: Get the cpu utilization on a particular host in the cluster
http://<ambari-server>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>/hosts/<host-name>?fields=metrics/cpu/cpu_user[1430844610,1430848210,15],metrics/cpu/cpu_wio[1430844610,1430848210,15],metrics/cpu/cpu_nice[1430844610,1430848210,15],metrics/cpu/cpu_aidle[1430844610,1430848210,15],metrics/cpu/cpu_system[1430844610,1430848210,15],metrics/cpu/cpu_idle[1430844610,1430848210,15]&_=1430848217591 |
The above API call retrieves all cpu related metrics required to chart out cpu utilization on a host page.
...
E.g.: Service metrics: Get the capacity utilization metrics aggregated across all datanodes but only the latest value (point in time)
http://<ambari-server>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>/services/HDFS/components/DATANODE?fields=metrics/dfs/datanode/DfsUsed,metrics/dfs/datanode/Capacity&_=1430849798630 |
The above API call retrieves two metrics values which represent the point in time metric value for the requested metrics obtained for the Metrics Service backend. (non JMX)
For a call to get JMX metrics directly from a Hadoop daemon, use the metrics name that corresponds to the JMX MBean metric, example: metrics/dfs/FSNamesystem/CapacityUsedGB (Refer to Stack Defined Metrics for more info)
The request part of the above API call selects the service from the cluster while predicate part includes the metrics names.
...
E.g.: Daemon metrics: Get the heap memory usage for active Namenode
http://<ambari-server>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>/hosts/<host-name>/host_components/NAMENODE?fields=metrics/jvm/memHeapCommittedM[1430847303,1430850903,15],metrics/jvm/memHeapUsedM[1430847303,1430850903,15]&_=1430850903846 |
The above API call retrieves JVM heap metrics for the Active Namenode in the cluster.
