Enable proxy for a known service in Apache Knox

How to enable 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.

For the purposes of this example, we add ATLAS and ATLAS UI to cdp-proxy. You can add more services; for a comprehensive list of knoxn services that can be enabled, see “Knox Supported Services Matrix”.
  1. From Cloudera Manager > Knox > Configuration, check the Gateway Auto Discovery (cdp-proxy) - $Component boxes.
    In this example, we enable:
    • gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas
    • gateway_auto_discovery_cdp_proxy_enabled_atlas_ui
  2. Save your changes.
  3. The ‘Refresh needed’ stale configuration indicator appears; click it and wait until the refresh process finishes.
  4. Validate that ATLAS in cdp-proxy was added by going to the following URL: https://$KNOX_GATEWAY_HOST:$PORT/$GATEWAY_PATH/admin/api/v1/topologies/cdp-proxy.
