Monitor Apache Ambari with Datadog

Apache Ambari is an open source management tool that helps organizations operate Hadoop clusters at scale. Datadog's new integration for Ambari allows users to monitor the performance of their Ambari servers along with other technologies in their stack, such as Apache Spark and PostgreSQL. The integration includes an out-of-the-box dashboard displaying key resource utilization metrics from Ambari servers, and automatically tags Ambari metrics by Ambari cluster, service, and component for easy drill down. Users can also customize dashboards to include metrics from related components of their infrastructure. Datadog's integration with all of the database backends Ambari supports makes it easy to monitor Ambari's backend database alongside the overall health of Ambari servers. Additionally, users can configure Datadog to collect Ambari-managed Hadoop metrics without installing the Datadog Agent directly on all of the servers Ambari manages. With this integration, users gain real-time visibility into Ambari's resource usage and availability, allowing them to troubleshoot performance issues across their entire big data architecture.
