HiveServer2 Health Tests

HiveServer2 Audit Pipeline Test

This HiveServer2 health test checks that the Auditing for the HiveServer2 role is getting processed correctly and is not blocked. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the audit pipeline of HiveServer2 process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the HiveServer2 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 HiveServer2 monitoring setting.

HiveServer2 Pause Duration

This HiveServer2 health test checks that the HiveServer2 threads are not experiencing long scheduling pauses. The test uses a pause monitoring thread in the HiveServer2 that tracks scheduling delay by noting if it is run on its requested schedule. If the thread is not run on its requested schedule, the delay is noted and considered pause time. The health test checks that no more than some percentage of recent time is spent paused. A failure of this health test may indicate that the HiveServer2 is not getting enough CPU resources, or that it is spending too much time doing garbage collection. Inspect the HiveServer2 logs for any pause monitor output and check garbage collection metrics exposed by the HiveServer2. This test can be configured using the Pause Duration Thresholds and Pause Duration Monitoring Period HiveServer2 monitoring settings.

HiveServer2 Process Status

This HiveServer2 health test checks that the Cloudera Manager Agent on the HiveServer2 host is heart beating correctly and that the process associated with the HiveServer2 role is in the state expected by Cloudera Manager. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the HiveServer2 process, a lack of connectivity to the Cloudera Manager Agent on the HiveServer2 host, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. This test can fail either because the HiveServer2 has crashed or because the HiveServer2 will not start or stop in a timely fashion. Check the HiveServer2 logs for more details. If the test fails because of problems communicating with the Cloudera Manager Agent on the HiveServer2 host, check the status of the Cloudera Manager Agent by running /etc/init.d/cloudera-scm-agent status on the HiveServer2 host, or look in the Cloudera Manager Agent logs on the HiveServer2 host for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the HiveServer2 Process Health Test HiveServer2 monitoring setting.
