Starting, Stopping, and Restarting Cloudera Manager Agents

To start Agents, the supervisord process, and all managed service processes, use the following command:

• Start

  sudo service cloudera-scm-agent start

To stop or restart Agents while leaving the managed processes running, use one of the following commands:

• Stop

  sudo service cloudera-scm-agent stop

• Restart

  sudo service cloudera-scm-agent restart

To stop or restart Agents, the supervisord process, and all managed service processes, use one of the following commands:

• Hard Stop
  1. Stop all roles running on the host. See Stopping All the Roles on a Host.

     If it is not possible to stop all roles immediately, you must do so within 60 days of the hard stop.

  2. Run the following command:

     RHEL 7, SLES 12, Debian 8, Ubuntu 16.04 and higher

     sudo systemctl stop cloudera-scm-supervisord 

     RHEL 5 or 6, SLES 11, Debian 6 or 7, Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04

     sudo service cloudera-scm-agent hard_stop

• Hard Restart
  1. Stop all roles running on the host. See Stopping All the Roles on a Host.

     If it is not possible to stop all roles immediately, you must do so within 60 days of the hard restart.

  2. Run the following command:

     RHEL 7, SLES 12, Debian 8, Ubuntu 16.04 and higher

     sudo systemctl stop cloudera-scm-supervisord 
     sudo systemctl start cloudera-scm-agent

     RHEL 5 or 6, SLES 11, Debian 6 or 7, Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04

     sudo service cloudera-scm-agent hard_restart

  Hard restart is useful for the following situations:
  1. You are upgrading Cloudera Manager and the supervisord code has changed between your current version and the new one. To properly do this upgrade you need to restart supervisor too.
  2. supervisord freezes and needs to be restarted.
  3. You want to clear out all running state pertaining to Cloudera Manager and managed services.

To check the status of the Agent process, use the command:

sudo service cloudera-scm-agent status
