1. Configuring Your Cluster

When you deploy a cluster with Ambari, a SmartSense View instance is automatically created as long as an Ambari Agent is deployed on the host running the Ambari Server.

[Important]Important

If an Ambari Agent is not installed on the Ambari Server host, the view will not be automatically created, and you will have to add it manually using the instructions in Creating the SmartSense View Instance.

Before accessing the SmartSense View, you should enter your SmartSense user ID, account name (both are available in the Hortonworks support portal in the Tools tab), and email address in the SmartSense service configuration properties.
