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

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

Load Balancer Unexpected Exits
This Load Balancer health test checks that the Load Balancer 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.
