2. Setting Metrics Directories for Embedded Mode

By default, the Ambari Metrics Collector runs in embedded mode. The Collector will capture and write metrics to the local file system on the host where the Collector is running. When configured for distributed mode, Metric Collector writes go to HDFS of the cluster.

[Note]Note

Refer to Configuring Ambari Metrics for Distributed Mode for more information on switching to distributed mode.

When running in embedded mode, you should confirm the “hbase.rootdir" and "hbase.tmp.dir” directory configurations in Ambari Metrics > Configs > Advanced ams-hbase-site are using a large partition, such as:

file:///grid/0/var/lib/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase
