YARN job history not coming

Question

I am using the latest hadoop version 3.0.0 build from source code. I have my timeline service up and running and have configured hadoop to use that for job history also. But when I click on history in the resoucemanager UI I get the below error:-

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /jobhistory/job/job_1444395439959_0001. Reason:

    NOT_FOUND

Can someone please point out what I am missing here. Following is my yarn-site.xml:-

<configuration>

If you want to see the logs through YARN RM web UI, then you need to enable the log aggregation. For that, you need to set the following parameters, in yarn-site.xml:

  <property>
      <name>yarn.log-aggregation-enable</name>
      <value>true</value>
  </property>
  <property>
     <name>yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir</name>
     <value>/app-logs</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir-suffix</name>
      <value>logs</value>
  </property>

If you do not enable log aggregation, then NMs will store the logs locally. With the above settings, the logs are aggregated in HDFS at "/app-logs/{username}/logs/". Under this folder, you can find logs for all the applications run so far. Again the log retention is determined by the configuration parameter "yarn.log-aggregation.retain-seconds" (how long to retain the aggregated logs).

When the MapReduce applications are running, then you can access the logs from the YARN's web UI. Once the application is completed, the logs are served through Job History Server.

Also, set following configuration parameter in yarn-site.xml:

<property>
  <name>yarn.log.server.url</name>
  <value>http://{job-history-hostname}:8188/jobhistory/logs</value>
</property>
