node services

Starts, stops, or restarts services on one or more server nodes. Permissions required: ss, fc or a.

To start or stop services, you must specify the service name, the action (start, stop, or restart), and the nodes on which to perform the action. You can specify the nodes in either of two ways:

Use the nodes parameter to specify a space-delimited list of node names.
Use the filter parameter to specify all nodes that match a certain pattern. See Filters for more information.

Parameters

To perform an action on a service, on a particular set of nodes, you must specify the following three parameters:

action- the action to perform; starting, stopping, suspending, resuming, or restarting a service.
node or filter - the nodes on which to perform the action; either a list of nodes, or a filter that matches a set of nodes
name - the service on which to perform the action

The following table lists the parameters available with the node services command.

`action`	An action to perform on a service specified in the `name` parameter: Values: start, stop, suspend, resume, or restart
`apiserver`	Starts, stops, or restarts the apiserver. Values: start, stop, or restart
`cldb`	Starts, stops, or restarts the cldb service. Values: start, stop, suspend, resume, or restart
`cluster`	The cluster on which to run the command.
`fileserver`	Starts, stops, or restarts the fileserver service. Values: start, stop, suspend, resume, or restart
`filter`	A filter specifying nodes on which to start or stop services. For fields to use with the filter, see the Fields table in the node page. See Filters for more information about filters. NOTE: Either this or `nodes` is required.
`name`	A service on which to perform an action specified by the `action` parameter. Any service can be specified with this option, but the following services can be specified only with the `name` option: `collectd`, `elasticsearch`, `fluentd`, `grafana`, `historyserver`, `hivemeta`, `hoststats`, `hs2`, `httpfs`, `hue`, `kibana`, `nodemanager`, `opentsdb`, `oozie`, and `resourcemanager.`
`nfs`	Starts, stops, or restarts the nfs service. Values: start, stop, suspend, resume, or restart
`nodes`	A list of node names, separated by spaces. NOTE: Either this or `filter` is required.
`zkconnect`	The ZooKeeper Connect String.

Examples

Start the NodeManager Service

maprcli node services -name nodemanager -nodes abc.sj.us -action start

Stop the ResourceManager Service

maprcli node services -name resourcemanager -nodes abc.sj.us -action stop

Stop the ResourceManager Service

maprcli node services -name resourcemanager -nodes abc.sj.us -action restart

Restart nfs server

maprcli node services -nodes abc.sj.us -nfs restart

Restart nfs server using a filter

Using a filter is common, especially in HBase environments, where full restarts of region and master servers are needed.

maprcli node services -filter ["csvc==nfs"] -nfs restart

Start the Hue Service

maprcli node services -name hue -action start -nodes <node n>

Restart the hoststats service

Restart the hoststats service after making changes to the MapR Metrics database. You do not need to restart warden.

maprcli node services -name hoststats -action restart -nodes <nodes>
 
OR
 
maprcli node services -name hoststats -action restart -filter '[csvc==hoststats]'
