Last Updated June 3, 2013; Note that this is the official release of Ambari V1 API. No breaking changes will be introduced to this version of the API.
The operations you perform against the Ambari API require authentication. Access to the API requires the use of Basic Authentication. To use Basic Authentication, you need to send the Authorization: Basic header with your requests. For example, this can be handled when using curl and the --user option.
curl --user name:password http://{your.ambari.server}/api/v1/clusters
Note: The authentication method and source is configured at the Ambari Server. Changing and configuring the authentication method and source is not covered in this document.
The Ambari API provides access to monitoring and metrics information of an Apache Hadoop cluster.
Use the GET method to read the properties, metrics and sub-resources of an Ambari resource. Calling the GET method returns the requested resources and produces no side-effects. A response code of 200 indicates that the request was successfully processed with the requested resource included in the response body.
Example
Get the DATANODE component resource for the HDFS service of the cluster named 'c1'.
GET /clusters/c1/services/HDFS/components/DATANODE
Response
200 OK
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/services/HDFS/components/DATANODE",
"metrics" : {
"process" : {
"proc_total" : 697.75,
"proc_run" : 0.875
},
"rpc" : {
...
},
"ugi" : {
...
},
"dfs" : {
"datanode" : {
...
}
},
"disk" : {

},
"cpu" : {
...
}
...
},
"ServiceComponentInfo" : {
"cluster_name" : "c1",
"component_name" : "DATANODE",
"service_name" : "HDFS"
"state" : "STARTED"
},
"host_components" : [
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts/host1/host_components/DATANODE",

}
}
]
}
The Ambari API provides for the management of the resources of an Apache Hadoop cluster. This includes the creation, deletion and updating of resources.
The POST method creates a new resource. If a new resource is created then a 201 response code is returned. The code 202 can also be returned to indicate that the instruction was accepted by the server (see asynchronous response).
Example
Create the HDFS service.
POST /clusters/c1/services/HDFS
Response
201 Created
Use the PUT method to update resources. If an existing resource is modified then a 200 response code is retrurned to indicate successful completion of the request. The response code 202 can also be returned to indicate that the instruction was accepted by the server (see asynchronous response).
Example
Start the HDFS service (update the state of the HDFS service to be ‘STARTED’).
PUT /clusters/c1/services/HDFS/
Body
{
"ServiceInfo": {
"state" : "STARTED"
}
}
Response
The response code 202 indicates that the server has accepted the instruction to update the resource. The body of the response contains the ID and href of the request resource that was created to carry out the instruction (see asynchronous response).
202 Accepted
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/3",
"Requests" : {
"id" : 3,
"status" : "InProgress"
}
}
Use the DELETE method to delete a resource. If an existing resource is deleted then a 200 response code is retrurned to indicate successful completion of the request. The response code 202 can also be returned which indicates that the instruction was accepted by the server and the resource was marked for deletion (see asynchronous response).
Example
Delete the cluster named 'c1'.
DELETE /clusters/c1
Response
200 OK
The management APIs can return a response code of 202 which indicates that the request has been accepted. The body of the response contains the ID and href of the request resource that was created to carry out the instruction.
202 Accepted
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/6",
"Requests" : {
"id" : 6,
"status" : "InProgress"
}
}
The href in the response body can then be used to query the associated request resource and monitor the progress of the request. A request resource has one or more task sub resources. The following example shows how to use partial response to query for task resources of a request resource.
/clusters/c1/requests/6?fields=tasks/Tasks/*
The returned task resources can be used to determine the status of the request.
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/6",
"Requests" : {
"id" : 6,
"cluster_name" : "c1"
},
"tasks" : [
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/6/tasks/32",
"Tasks" : {
"exit_code" : 777,

}
},
{

"Tasks" : {
"exit_code" : 999,
"stdout" : "",
"status" : "PENDING",
...
}
},
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/6/tasks/31",
"Tasks" : {
"exit_code" : 0,
"stdout" : "warning: Dynamic lookup of $ambari_db_rca_username ...",
"status" : "COMPLETED",

}
}
]
}
A collection resource is a set of resources of the same type, rather than any specific resource. For example:
/clusters
Refers to a collection of clusters
An instance resource is a single specific resource. For example:
/clusters/c1
Refers to the cluster resource identified by the id "c1"
Resources are grouped into types. This allows the user to query for collections of resources of the same type. Some resource types are composed of subtypes (e.g. services are sub-resources of clusters).
The following is a list of some of the Ambari resource types with descriptions and usage examples.
Cluster resources represent named Hadoop clusters. Clusters are top level resources.
Service resources are services of a Hadoop cluster (e.g. HDFS, MapReduce and Ganglia). Service resources are sub-resources of clusters.
Component resources are the individual components of a service (e.g. HDFS/NameNode and MapReduce/JobTracker). Components are sub-resources of services.
Host resources are the host machines that make up a Hadoop cluster. Hosts are top level resources but can also be sub-resources of clusters.
Host component resources are usages of a component on a particular host. Host components are sub-resources of hosts.
Configuration resources are sets of key/value pairs that configure the services of a Hadoop cluster.
Configuration Resource Overview
Config group is type of resource that supports grouping of configuration resources and host resources for a service.
Request resources are groups of tasks that were created to carry out an instruction.
Task resources are the individual tasks that make up a request resource.
A request schedule defines a batch of requests to be executed based on a schedule.
Workflow resources are DAGs of MapReduce jobs in a Hadoop cluster.
Job resources represent individual nodes (MapReduce jobs) in a workflow.
Task attempt resources are individual attempts at map or reduce tasks for a job.
Views offer a systematic way to plug-in UI capabilities to surface custom visualization, management and monitoring features in Ambari Web.
Repository version resources contain information about available repositories with Hadoop stacks for cluster.
Stack version resources contain relationship between some resource and repository versions.
Rolling upgrades check resources store information about successful/unsuccessful checks performed before rolling upgrade.
Rolling Upgrade Check Resources
Alert resources contain the relationships between definitions, history, and the dispatching of outbound notifications. Ambari leverages its own alert framework in order to monitor a service, component, or host and produce notifications to interested parties.
-
Alert Definitions Definitions are the templates that are used to distribute alerts to the appropriate Ambari agents. They govern the type of alert, the threshold values, and the information to be used when notifying a target.
-
Alert Dispatching Dispatching involves creating groups of alert definitions and adding notification targets to those groups.
-
Alert History The current state of an alert and all of its historical events are available for querying.
Credential resources are principal (or username) and password pairs that are tagged with an alias and stored either in a temporary or persisted storage facility. These resources may be created, updated, and deleted; however (for security reasons) when getting credential resources, only the alias and an indicator of whether the credential is stored in the temporary or persisted store is returned. Credentials are sub-resources of Clusters.
Permission resources are used to help determine authorization rights for a user. A permission is assigned to a user by setting up a privilege relationship between a user and the permission to be projected onto some resource.
User resources represent users that may use Ambari. A user is given permissions to perform tasks within Ambari.
Authentication source resources are child resources of user resources. Each source represent an authentication source that a user may use to login into Ambari. There are different types of authentication sources such as (but not limited to) local, LDAP, JWT, and Kerberos.
Authentication Source Resources
Used to control which fields are returned by a query. Partial response can be used to restrict which fields are returned and additionally, it allows a query to reach down and return data from sub-resources. The keyword “fields” is used to specify a partial response. Only the fields specified will be returned to the client. To specify sub-elements, use the notation “a/b/c”. Properties, categories and sub-resources can be specified. The wildcard ‘*’ can be used to show all categories, fields and sub-resources for a resource. This can be combined to provide ‘expand’ functionality for sub-components. Some fields are always returned for a resource regardless of the specified partial response fields. These fields are the fields, which uniquely identify the resource. This would be the primary id field of the resource and the foreign keys to the primary id fields of all ancestors of the resource.
Example: Using Partial Response to restrict response to a specific field

Used to limit which data is returned by a query. This is synonymous to the “where” clause in a SQL query. Providing query parameters does not result in any link expansion in the data that is returned, with the exception of the fields used in the predicates. Query predicates can only be applied to collection resources. A predicate consists of at least one relational expression. Predicates with multiple relational expressions also contain logical operators, which connect the relational expressions. Predicates may also use brackets for explicit grouping of expressions.
| Operator | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| = | name=host1 | String or numerical EQUALS |
| != | name!=host1 | String or numerical NOT EQUALS |
| < | disk_total<50 | Numerical LESS THAN |
| > | disk_total>50 | Numerical GREATER THAN |
| <= | disk_total<=50 | Numerical LESS THAN OR EQUALS |
| >= | disk_total>=50 | Numerical GREATER THAN OR EQUALS |
| Operator | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| | | name=host1|name=host2 | Logical OR operator |
| & | prop1=foo&prop2=bar | Logical AND operator |
| ! | !prop<50 | Logical NOT operator |
Logical Operator Precedence
Standard logical operator precedence rules apply. The above logical operators are listed in order of precedence starting with the lowest priority.
| Bracket | Description |
|---|---|
| ( | Opening Bracket |
| ) | Closing Bracket |
Brackets can be used to provide explicit grouping of expressions. Expressions within brackets have the highest precedence.
| Operator | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| in() | name.in(foo,bar) | IN function. More compact form of name=foo|name=bar. |
| isEmpty() | category.isEmpty() | Used to determine if a category contains any properties. |
Example – Get all hosts with “HEALTHY” status that have 2 or more cpu
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts?Hosts/host_status=HEALTHY&Hosts/cpu_count>=2
Example – Get all hosts with less than 2 cpu or host status != HEALTHY
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts?Hosts/cpu_count<2|Hosts/host_status!=HEALTHY
Example – Get all “rhel6” hosts with less than 2 cpu or “centos6” hosts with 3 or more cpu
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts?Hosts/os_type=rhel6&Hosts/cpu_count<2|Hosts/os_type=centos6&Hosts/cpu_count>=3
Example – Get all hosts where either state != “HEALTHY” or last_heartbeat_time < 1360600135905 and rack_info=”default_rack”
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts?(Hosts/host_status!=HEALTHY|Hosts/last_heartbeat_time<1360600135905)
&Hosts/rack_info=default_rack
Example – Get hosts with host name of host1 or host2 or host3 using IN operator
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts?Hosts/host_name.in(host1,host2,host3)
Example – Get and expand all HDFS components, which have at least 1 property in the “metrics/jvm” category (combines query and partial response syntax)
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/services/HDFS/components?!metrics/jvm.isEmpty()&fields=*
Example – Update the state of all ‘INSTALLED’ services to be ‘STARTED’
PUT /api/v1/clusters/c1/services?ServiceInfo/state=INSTALLED
{
"ServiceInfo": {
"state" : "STARTED"
}
}
Requests can be batched. This allows for multiple bodies to be specified as an array in a single request.
Example – Creating multiple hosts in a single request
POST /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts/
[
{
"Hosts" : {
"cluster_name" : "c1",
"host_name" : "host1"
}
},
{
"Hosts" : {
"cluster_name" : "c1",
"host_name" : "host2"
}
},
{
"Hosts" : {
"cluster_name" : "c1",
"host_name" : "host3"
}
}
]
RequestInfo allows the user to specify additional properties in the body of a request.
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| query | The query string for the request. Useful for overcoming length limits of the URL and for specifying a query string for each element of a batch request. |
| context | The context string. The API client can pass a string context to able to specify what the requests were for (e.g., "HDFS Service Start", "Add Hosts", etc.) |
The query property allows the user to specify the query string as part of the request body. This is sometimes required in the case of a very long query string that causes the request to exceed the limits of the URL.
Example – Specifying the query string in the request body
PUT /clusters/c1/services
{
"RequestInfo":{
"query":"ServiceInfo/state=STARTED&ServiceInfo/service_name=HDFS&…"
},
"Body":
{
"ServiceInfo": {
"state" : "INSTALLED"
}
}
}
The query property can also be applied to the elements of a batch request.
Example – Specifying the query string in the request body for a batch request
PUT /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts
[
{
"RequestInfo":{
"query":"Hosts/host_name=host1"
},
"Body":
{
"Hosts": {
"desired_config": {
"type": "global",
"tag": "version50",
"properties": { "a": "b", "x": "y" }
}
}
}
},
{
"RequestInfo":{
"query":"Hosts/host_name=host2"
},
"Body":
{
"Hosts": {
"desired_config": {
"type": "global",
"tag": "version51",
"properties": { "a": "c", "x": "z" }
}
}
}
}
]
In some cases a request will return a 202 to indicate that the instruction was accepted by the server (see asynchronous response). In these cases the body of the response contains the ID and href of the request resource that was created to carry out the instruction. It may be desirable to attach a context string to the request which will then be assigned to the resulting request response.
In the following example a request is made to stop the HDFS service. Notice that a context is passed as a RequestInfo property.
Example – Specifying the query string in the request body
PUT /clusters/c1/services
{
"RequestInfo":{
"query":"ServiceInfo/state=STARTED&ServiceInfo/service_name=HDFS",
"context":"Stop HDFS service."
},
"Body":
{
"ServiceInfo": {
"state" : "INSTALLED"
}
}
}
Response
{
"href" : "http://your.ambari.server/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/13",
"Requests" : {
"id" : 13,
"status" : "InProgress"
}
}
When the request resource returned in the above example is queried, the supplied context string is returned as part of the response.
GET api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/13
Response
{
"href" : "http://ec2-50-19-183-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/c1/requests/13",
"Requests" : {
"id" : 13,
"cluster_name" : "c1",
"request_context" : "Stop HDFS service."
},
"tasks" : [
…
]
}
Some metrics have values that are available across a range in time. To query a metric for a range of values, the following partial response syntax is used.
To get temporal data for a single property: ?fields=category/property[start-time,end-time,step]
To get temporal data for all properties in a category: ?fields=category[start-time,end-time,step]
start-time: Required field. The start time for the query in Unix epoch time format. end-time: Optional field, defaults to now. The end time for the query in Unix epoch time format. step: Optional field, defaults to the corresponding metrics system’s default value. If provided, end-time must also be provided. The interval of time between returned data points specified in seconds. The larger the value provided, the fewer data points returned so this can be used to limit how much data is returned for the given time range. This is only used as a suggestion so the result interval may differ from the one specified.
The returned result is a list of data points over the specified time range. Each data point is a value / timestamp pair.
Note: It is important to understand that requesting large amounts of temporal data may result in severe performance degradation. Always request the minimal amount of information necessary. If large amounts of data are required, consider splitting the request up into multiple smaller requests.
Example – Temporal Query for a single property using only start-time
GET /api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts/host1?fields=metrics/jvm/gcCount[1360610225]

It is possible to divide the resources returned for a request up into pages by specifying a page size and offset.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| page_size | The number of resources to be returned for the paged response. |
| from | The starting page resource (inclusive). Valid values are :offset | "start" |
| to | The ending page resource (inclusive). Valid values are :offset | "end" |
Note: either from or to can be specified, not both. If neither is specified then 'from=0' is assumed.
The :offset is an integer value that represents an offset (zero based) into the set of resources. For example, 'from=21' means that the first resource of the response page should be the 21st resource of the resource set.
Example - Get a page of 10 request resources starting with the 21st
/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests?from=21&page_size=10
The "start" keyword indicates the start of the resource set and is equivalent to an offset of 0.
Example - Get a page of 10 request resources from the start
/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests?from=start&page_size=10
/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests?from=0&page_size=10
The "end" keyword indicates the end of the set of resources and is equivalent to an offset of -1.
Example - Get the last 10 request resources
/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests?to=end&page_size=10
/api/v1/clusters/cl1/requests?to=-1&page_size=10
The default ordering of the resources (by the natural ordering of the resource key properties) is implied.
The following HTTP codes may be returned by the API.
