Ambari Metrics System Collector HBase cannot be started after Express Upgrade on secured clusters.

msg=org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException: 
hbase:meta,,1 is not online 

Clear out the data on the znode specified in ams-hbase-site:zookeeper.znode.parent.

  • If Ambari Metrics System is in embedded mode, this can be done by deleting the directory as specified in the ams-hbase-site property 'HBase ZooKeeper Property DataDir'.
  • If Ambari Metrics System is in distributed mode, this can be done by deleting the znode in cluster zookeeper using zkCli. Instead of deleting the znode, you canchange the value of the znode from /ams-hbase-unsecure to something like /ams-hbase-unsecure-new.

return (RESULT_CODE_CRITICAL, ["Zeppelin is not running"])

Spectrum Scale installation Fails in Ambari for scripts not found reason.

Exception is seen when the Mpack is integrated with the following error:

stdout: /var/lib/ambari-agent/data/output-402.txt
Caught an exception while executing custom service command: 
<class 'ambari_agent.AgentException.AgentException'>: 
'Script /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/extensions/SpectrumScaleExtension
/2.7.0.1/services/GPFS/package/scripts/slave.py does not exist'; 
'Script /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/extensions/SpectrumScaleExtension
/2.7.0.1/services/GPFS/package/scripts/slave.py does not exist'
Ensure that the property agent.auto.cache.update=true is set in /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties on the Ambari Server, and then restart the Ambari Server so that the Ambari agents will now get the propagated changes for the Mpack extensions.

    onNetworkIssuesExist: function () { 

    Change the line from :

     /**
       * Use Local Repo if some network issues exist
       */
      onNetworkIssuesExist: function () {
        if (this.get('networkIssuesExist')) {
          this.get('content.stacks').forEach(function (stack) {
              stack.setProperties({
                usePublicRepo: false,
                useLocalRepo: true
              });
              stack.cleanReposBaseUrls();
          });
        }
      }.observes('networkIssuesExist'),

    to

     /**
       * Use Local Repo if some network issues exist
       */
      onNetworkIssuesExist: function () {
        if (this.get('networkIssuesExist')) {
          this.get('content.stacks').forEach(function (stack) {
            if(stack.get('useLocalRepo') != true){
              stack.setProperties({
                usePublicRepo: false,
                useLocalRepo: true
              });
              stack.cleanReposBaseUrls();
            } 
          });
