I’m currently investigating how (or even if it is possible) to get Ambari setup to monitor / manage an existing cluster. I have so far come across 6 other forum topics with no good answers. Some say it isn’t supported but those are pretty old and I’m wondering if it is now supported. I also came across an old Jira ticket asking for a similar type of feature.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
