Efficient management of resources within these clusters is crucial for achieving optimal performance and cost efficiency. This research paper explores the use of Hadoop and Ganglia for monitoring and optimizing resource utilization in Hadoop clusters. The study demonstrates that leveraging Hadoop and Ganglia is an effective strategy for improving cluster performance and resource efficiency. Results show significant enhancements in cluster performance and resource utilization, highlighting the importance of proactive resource management in Hadoop environments. © 2024 IEEE.Big DataGanglia MonitoringHadoop clusterHadoop Distributed File SystemResource Management
