1.2. Widget Descriptions

The Dashboard includes metrics for the following services:

View Metrics that indicate the operating status of your cluster on the Ambari Dashboard. Each metrics widget displays status information for a single service in your HDP cluster. The Ambari Dashboard displays all metrics for the HDFS, YARN, HBase, and Storm services, and cluster-wide metrics by default.

[Note]Note

Metrics data for Storm is buffered and sent as a batch to Ambari every five minutes. After adding the Storm service, anticipate a five-minute delay for Storm metrics to appear.

You can add and remove individual widgets, and rearrange the dashboard by dragging and dropping each widget to a new location in the dashboard.

Status information appears as simple pie and bar charts, more complex charts showing usage and load, sets of links to additional data sources, and values for operating parameters such as uptime and average RPC queue wait times. Most widgets display a single fact by default. For example, HDFS Disk Usage displays a load chart and a percentage figure. The Ambari Dashboard includes metrics for the following services:
