Ambari 1.7 hangs few minutes after restart

[Udit Mehta <ud...@gmail.com>]

Ambari UI hangs up a few minutes after restart even though the process is
still running. The logs have the error :

ERROR [qtp1627675929-63] BaseProvider:143 - Timed out waiting for metrics.

Running ambari in the debug mode has a more detailed error:

ERROR [qtp64660530-96 -

There is a similar issue : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-6168
with a similar error message but it does not fix the problem.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
