Tags in Cloudera Manager

A tag in the context of Cloudera Manager is a name-value pair that is attached to a cluster, service, role or host. Tags allow information to be added to an entity in a very open-ended fashion. A single entity may have any number of tags, as long as each tag name is unique, and tags may be added or removed at any time. All tags appear in diagnostic bundles.

You use the Cloudera Manager API to create, delete, and retrieve tags. See the following endpoints:
  • /tags
  • /clusters/{clusterName}/tags
Kerberos is configured automatically when adding new services to a Kerberized cluster
When a new service is added to a cluster that is already kerberized, kerberos settings will automatically be configured for the new service. Affects all CDH versions.
Custom cgroup names for Cloudera Manager launched services
This feature adds a new String configuration property named Custom Control Group Resources to the Role configuration Group configurations. The string consists of a list of cgroup references. Each list entry must match the controllers:path as given to the cgexec Linux command-line utility. Any number of entries can be added to the cgroup list. The entries are space separated. The list entries will be used to launch processes with the matching cgroup configuration. All processes within the Role Configuration Group will use the same cgroup configuration. Cloudera Manager will not attempt to validate the controllers or path. Defining non-existent or incorrect cgroup references will cause the process launch to fail. Setting this new parameter causes any automatic cgroup configurations to be ignored, for example CPU or memory limitations set via other parameters.
New parameter for JVM arguments for all services and roles
There is a new configuration parameter in Cloudera Manager called Extra JVM Arguments for Java-based Services. You can put JVM command-line arguments here, and Cloudera Manager will append those arguments when launching Java-based processes.
Updated Postgres databases
The embedded Postgres Database used by KTS has been upgraded from version 9.3 to 12.1 (when used with a KTS 7.1.1 or later parcel version).
The embedded Postgres Database used for CDP Private Cloud Base Trial installations has been upgraded to version 10.
Cloudera Manager now supports a custom URL for Knox when the alert Publisher generates URLs
Cloudera Manager now supports a custom URL for alerts. In cases where Knox is in use, you can configure the alert to send a valid URL in the alert. The URL can be set under Administration > Settings > Cloudera Manager in the Frontend URL property.
CSD Health tests turn red when there's not enough data to test
In case of insufficient data, Custom Service Descriptor (CSD) health tests will turn grey instead of red.
Cloudera Manager now support configuration of HBase Web UI SPNEGO Authentication
Cloudera Manager now supports secure Web UI with SPNEGO in HBase. To secure the UI, enable the Enable Kerberos Authentication for HTTP Web-Consoles property in Cloudera Manager to secure the Web UIs.
New property for Streams Messaging Manager

A new property, Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Host (cm.metrics.service.monitor.host), has been added to SMM. This property allows you to configure the host of the CM Service Monitor that SMM connects to.

If CM Server and CM Service Monitor are installed on different hosts, you must configure the Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Host and Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Port properties to enable SMM to collect metrics.
