JobTracker Health Tests
JobTracker Audit Pipeline Test
This JobTracker health test checks that the Auditing for the JobTracker role is getting processed correctly and is not blocked. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the audit pipeline of JobTracker process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the JobTracker 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 JobTracker monitoring setting.

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

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 JobTracker monitoring settings.

JobTracker 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 JobTracker, a misconfiguration of the JobTracker, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. Consult the Cloudera Manager Agent logs and the logs of the JobTracker for more detail. If the test failure message indicates a communication problem, the Cloudera Manager Agent's HTTP requests to the JobTracker's web server are failing or timing out. If the test's failure message indicates an unexpected response, the JobTracker'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 JobTracker monitoring setting.
