Viewing the Cluster Dashboard

Ambari Web UI displays the Dashboard page as the home page. Use Dashboard to view the operating status of your cluster.

The left side of Ambari Web displays the list of Hadoop services currently running in your cluster. Dashboard includes Metrics, Heatmaps, and Config History tabs; by default, the Metrics tab is displayed. On the Metrics page, multiple widgets, represent operating status information of services in your HDP cluster. Most widgets display a single metric: for example, HDFS Disk Usage represented by a load chart and a percentage figure:
