Ambari Agent

Ambari Agent is a software component used in managing and monitoring big data clusters, primarily in environments like Apache Hadoop. It runs on each server in the cluster, collecting data about their performance and health. The Agent communicates with a central server, sending information and receiving instructions to ensure the cluster operates smoothly. By automating tasks such as installation, configuration, and monitoring, it helps system administrators efficiently manage complex data processes without needing extensive manual intervention. This simplifies the management of large-scale data systems, making them more reliable and easier to maintain.
