1. Review Ambari Log Files

Find files that log activity on an Ambari host in the following locations:

  • Ambari Server logs

    <your.Ambari.server.host>/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log

  • Ambari Agent logs

    <your.Ambari.agent.host>/var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.log

  • Ambari Action logs

    <your.Ambari.agent.host>/var/lib/ambari-agent/data/

    This location contains logs for all tasks executed on an Ambari agent host. Each log name includes a specific number, for example N. Pay particular attention to the following three files:

    • site-N.pp - the puppet file corresponding to a specfic task.

    • output-N.txt - output from puppet file execution.

    • errors-N.txt - error messages.
