Cloudera Manager

Cloudera Manager is a component of Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). The CDP overview library provides an overview of CDP. Cloudera Manager is an application you use to manage, configure, and monitor CDP Data Center clusters and Cloudera Runtime services.

The Cloudera Manager server runs on a host in your CDP Data Center deployment and manages your clusters using Cloudera Manager Agents that run on each host in the cluster.

The Cloudera Manager Admin Console is a web application administrators and others can use to manage CDP Data Center deployments. Using the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, you can start and stop the cluster and individual services, add new services, manage security, and upgrade the cluster.

You access the Cloudera Manager Admin Console using a Web browser. You can also use the Cloudera Manager API to programatically perform management tasks.
