Disable proxy for a known service in Apache Knox

How to remove auto-discovery for a known service in Knox proxy via Cloudera Manager.

Known services are officially-supported Knox services (like Apache Atlas, Ranger, Solr, etc.) Cloudera Manager provides and manages all the required service definition files.

In this example, we are going to remove the previously added ATLAS and ATLAS-UI services from cdp-proxy. We disable the gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas and gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas_ui checkboxes on Knox’s Configuration page in CM, save the changes and refresh the cluster.

  1. From Cloudera Manager > Knox > Configuration, uncheck the Gateway Auto Discovery (cdp-proxy) - $Component boxes.
    In this example, we disable:
    • gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas
    • gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas_ui
  2. Save your changes.
  3. The ‘Refresh needed’ stale configuration indicator appears; click it and wait until the refresh process finishes.
  4. Validate that custom service got removed by going to the following URL: https://$KNOX_GATEWAY_HOST:$PORT/$GATEWAY_PATH/admin/api/v1/topologies/cdp-proxy.
