Description

I am using the ambari 2.7.5.0 provided with bigtop 3.2.1

I was able to make ambari work with Rocky Linux 8 making the following changes:

Add version 8 in redhat section in file /usr/lib/ambari-server/lib/ambari_commons/resources/os_family.json and /usr/lib/ambari-agent/lib/ambari_commons/resources/os_family.json

Add redhat8 in file version_definition.xsd inside /usr/lib/ambari-server/ambari-server-2.7.5.0.0.jar (located in source code at ambari/ambari-server/src/main/resources/version_definition.xsd
