JobHistory Server Health Tests

JobHistory Server Audit Pipeline Test

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the Auditing for the JobHistory Server role is getting processed correctly and is not blocked. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the audit pipeline of JobHistory Server process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the JobHistory Server host isn't able to send audits because of some network issue. Check the Cloudera Manager Agent logs and Cloudera Audit Server logs for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the Navigator Audit Pipeline Health Check JobHistory Server monitoring setting.

JobHistory Server File Descriptors

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the JobHistory Server file descriptor limit. A failure of this health test may indicate a bug in either Hadoop or Cloudera Manager. Contact Cloudera support. This test can be configured using the File Descriptor Monitoring Thresholds JobHistory Server monitoring setting.

JobHistory Server GC Duration

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the JobHistory Server is not spending too much time performing Java garbage collection. It checks that no more than some percentage of recent time is spent performing Java garbage collection. A failure of this health test may indicate a capacity planning problem or misconfiguration of the JobHistory Server. This test can be configured using the Garbage Collection Duration Thresholds and Garbage Collection Duration Monitoring Period JobHistory Server monitoring settings.

Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's heap dump directory. Specified as a percentage of the capacity on that filesystem. This setting is not used if a Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds setting is configured. heap_dump_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds critical:never, warning:never PERCENT

JobHistory Server Host Health

This JobHistory Server health test factors in the health of the host upon which the JobHistory Server is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the JobHistory Server is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the JobHistory Server Host Health Test JobHistory Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Host Health

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
JobHistory Server Host Health Test When computing the overall JobHistory Server health, consider the host's health. jobhistory_host_health_enabled true no unit

JobHistory Server Log Directory Free Space

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this JobHistory Server has sufficient free space. This test can be configured using the Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds and Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds JobHistory Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Log Directory Free Space

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory. log_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10 BYTES
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory. Specified as a percentage of the capacity on that filesystem. This setting is not used if a Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds setting is configured. log_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds critical:never, warning:never PERCENT

JobHistory Server Process Status

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the Cloudera Manager Agent on the JobHistory Server host is heart beating correctly and that the process associated with the JobHistory Server role is in the state expected by Cloudera Manager. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the JobHistory Server process, a lack of connectivity to the Cloudera Manager Agent on the JobHistory Server host, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. This test can fail either because the JobHistory Server has crashed or because the JobHistory Server will not start or stop in a timely fashion. Check the JobHistory Server logs for more details. If the test fails because of problems communicating with the Cloudera Manager Agent on the JobHistory Server host, check the status of the Cloudera Manager Agent by running /etc/init.d/cloudera-scm-agent status on the JobHistory Server host, or look in the Cloudera Manager Agent logs on the JobHistory Server host for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the JobHistory Server Process Health Test JobHistory Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Process Status

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
JobHistory Server Process Health Test Enables the health test that the JobHistory Server's process state is consistent with the role configuration jobhistory_scm_health_enabled true no unit

JobHistory Server Swap Memory Usage

This JobHistory Server health test checks the amount of swap memory in use by the role. A failure of this health test may indicate that your machine is overloaded. This test can be configured using the Process Swap Memory Thresholds monitoring settings.

Short Name: Swap Memory Usage

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Process Swap Memory Thresholds The health test thresholds on the swap memory usage of the process. This takes precedence over the host level threshold. process_swap_memory_thresholds critical:never, warning:200.0 BYTES

JobHistory Server Unexpected Exits

This JobHistory Server health test checks that the JobHistory Server has not recently exited unexpectedly. The test returns "Bad" health if the number of unexpected exits exceeds a critical threshold. For example, if this test is configured with a critical threshold of 1, this test returns "Good" health if there have been no unexpected exits recently. If 1 or more unexpected exits occured recently, this test returns "Bad" health. The test also indicates whether any of the exits were caused by an OutOfMemory error if the Cloudera Manager Kill When Out of Memory monitoring setting is enabled. This test can be configured using the Unexpected Exits Thresholds and Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period JobHistory Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Unexpected Exits

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period The period to review when computing unexpected exits. unexpected_exits_window 5 MINUTES
Unexpected Exits Thresholds The health test thresholds for unexpected exits encountered within a recent period specified by the unexpected_exits_window configuration for the role. unexpected_exits_thresholds critical:any, warning:never no unit

JobHistory Server Web Server Status

This health test checks that the role's web server is responding quickly to requests by the Cloudera Manager Agent, and that the Cloudera Manager Agent can collect metrics from the web server. Failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the web server of the JobHistory Server, a misconfiguration of the JobHistory Server, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. Consult the Cloudera Manager Agent logs and the logs of the JobHistory Server for more detail. If the test failure message indicates a communication problem, the Cloudera Manager Agent's HTTP requests to the JobHistory Server's web server are failing or timing out. If the test's failure message indicates an unexpected response, the JobHistory Server's web server responded to the Cloudera Manager Agent's request, but the response could not be interpreted for some reason. This test can be configured using the Web Metric Collection JobHistory Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Web Server Status

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Web Metric Collection Enables the health test that the Cloudera Manager Agent can successfully contact and gather metrics from the web server. jobhistory_web_metric_collection_enabled true no unit
Web Metric Collection Duration The health test thresholds on the duration of the metrics request to the web server. jobhistory_web_metric_collection_thresholds critical:never, warning:10000.0 MILLISECONDS
