Cruise Control Server Health Tests
Cruise Control Server Audit Pipeline Test
This Cruise Control Server health test checks that the Auditing for the Cruise Control 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 Cruise Control Server process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Cruise Control 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 Cruise Control Server monitoring setting.

Cruise Control Server File Descriptors
This Cruise Control Server health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the Cruise Control 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 Cruise Control Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: File Descriptors
File Descriptor Monitoring Thresholds
- Description
- The health test thresholds of the number of file descriptors used. Specified as a percentage of file descriptor limit.
- Template Name
- cruise_control_server_fd_thresholds
- Default Value
- critical:70.0, warning:50.0
- Unit(s)
- PERCENT
Cruise Control Server Host Health
This Cruise Control Server health test factors in the health of the host upon which the Cruise Control Server is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the Cruise Control Server is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the Cruise Control Server Host Health Test Cruise Control Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: Host Health
Cruise Control Server Host Health Test
- Description
- When computing the overall Cruise Control Server health, consider the host's health.
- Template Name
- cruise_control_server_host_health_enabled
- Default Value
- true
- Unit(s)
- no unit
Cruise Control Server Log Directory Free Space
This Cruise Control Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this Cruise Control 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 Cruise Control Server monitoring settings.
Short Name: Log Directory Free Space
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds
- Description
- The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory.
- Template Name
- log_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds
- Default Value
- critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10
- Unit(s)
- BYTES
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds
- Description
- 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.
- Template Name
- log_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds
- Default Value
- critical:never, warning:never
- Unit(s)
- PERCENT
Cruise Control Server Process Status
This Cruise Control Server health test checks that the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Cruise Control Server host is heart beating correctly and that the process associated with the Cruise Control Server role is in the state expected by Cloudera Manager. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the Cruise Control Server process, a lack of connectivity to the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Cruise Control Server host, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. This test can fail either because the Cruise Control Server has crashed or because the Cruise Control Server will not start or stop in a timely fashion. Check the Cruise Control Server logs for more details. If the test fails because of problems communicating with the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Cruise Control Server host, check the status of the Cloudera Manager Agent by running /etc/init.d/cloudera-scm-agent status on the Cruise Control Server host, or look in the Cloudera Manager Agent logs on the Cruise Control Server host for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the Cruise Control Server Process Health Test Cruise Control Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: Process Status
Cruise Control Server Process Health Test
- Description
- Enables the health test that the Cruise Control Server's process state is consistent with the role configuration
- Template Name
- cruise_control_server_scm_health_enabled
- Default Value
- true
- Unit(s)
- no unit
Cruise Control Server Swap Memory Usage
This Cruise Control 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
Process Swap Memory Thresholds
- Description
- The health test thresholds on the swap memory usage of the process. This takes precedence over the host level threshold.
- Template Name
- process_swap_memory_thresholds
- Default Value
- critical:never, warning:200.0
- Unit(s)
- BYTES
Cruise Control Server Unexpected Exits
This Cruise Control Server health test checks that the Cruise Control 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 Cruise Control Server monitoring settings.
Short Name: Unexpected Exits
Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period
