SmartSense 1.2
• Available with Ambari 2.2.0 – just released!
SmartSense 1.2.0
Significant improvements were also delivered to further enhance the value of our support
subscription, such as:
SmartSense Inside - With Ambari 2.2.0, SmartSense 1.2.0 is included as part of the default set
of services, and can be easily installed when provisioning new clusters, or added as a service
post-upgrade. This eliminates a number of manual steps customers previously needed to
perform to “activate” SmartSense.
Automatic Upload - The new SmartSense Gateway provides for automatic bundle upload and
scheduled collection even in environments with restricted outbound internet access.
Over 200 rules! - More than double the number of Configuration Rules providing deeper and
more tailored recommendations across HDP versions.

Customer feedback
“Hadoop configuration is something that we’ve struggled with quite a bit, and having SmartSense
take the guess work out of our configuration validation and given us a single source of truth has
been immensely valuable.”
