You could look at the resource providers in the org.apache.ambari.server.controller.gsinstaller package. They basically read the cluster definition from an artifact of the gsInstaller (gsInstaller-hosts.txt). The default metrics providers are still used for monitoring through Ganglia and JMX.

You can install ganglia and use the Ambari-shipped ganglia metrics w/out using Ambari, I was able to do that on a cluster w/out Ambari server. It's most likely true with Nagios as well.

*Subject:* ambari just for monitoring?

Is it possible to just use Ambari for just monitoring and not for the initial provisioning/setup ? Our system is somewhat strange in it's architecture and use of read-only root filesystems, so the per-node install and setup will not work. Using Ambari as the single point for monitoring the Hadoop ecosystem components would be useful.

Thanks.

 Bill.
