I'm interested in sending metrics to Ambari and I've been looking at the Metrics Collector REST API described here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Metrics+Collector+API+Specification
I figured the easiest way to test it would be to get the latest HDP Sandbox... so I downloaded and started it up. The Metrics Collector service wasn't running so I started it, and also added port 6188 to the VM port forwarding. From there I used the example POST on the Wiki page and made a successful POST which got a 200 response. After that I tried the query, but could never get any results to come back. I know this list is not specific to HDP, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can look at to figure out what is happening with the data I am posting. I was watching the metrics collector log while posting and querying and didn't see any activity besides the periodic aggregation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bran
