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

| Navigator Audit Pipeline Health Check | Enable test of audit events processing pipeline. This will test if audit events are not getting processed by Audit Server for a role that generates audit. | mgmt_navigator_status_check_enabled | true | no unit |
Authentication Server File Descriptors
This Authentication Server health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the Authentication 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 Authentication Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: File Descriptors
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Authentication Server Heap Dump Directory Free Space
This Authentication Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the heap dump directory of this Authentication Server has sufficient free space. This test can be configured using the Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds and Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds Authentication Server monitoring settings.
Short Name: Heap Dump Directory Free Space
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds | The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's heap dump directory. | heap_dump_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds | critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10 | BYTES |
| Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds | The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's heap dump directory. Specified as a percentage of the capacity on that filesystem. This setting is not used if a Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds setting is configured. | heap_dump_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds | critical:never, warning:never | PERCENT |
Authentication Server Host Health
This Authentication Server health test factors in the health of the host upon which the Authentication Server is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the Authentication Server is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the Authentication Server Host Health Test Authentication Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: Host Health
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication Server Host Health Test | When computing the overall Authentication Server health, consider the host's health. | authserver_host_health_enabled | true | no unit |
Authentication Server Log Directory Free Space
This Authentication Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this Authentication 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 Authentication Server monitoring settings.
Short Name: Log Directory Free Space
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds | The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory. | log_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds | critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10 | BYTES |
| Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds | 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. | log_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds | critical:never, warning:never | PERCENT |
Authentication Server Process Status
This Authentication Server health test checks that the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Authentication Server host is heart beating correctly and that the process associated with the Authentication Server role is in the state expected by Cloudera Manager. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the Authentication Server process, a lack of connectivity to the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Authentication Server host, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. This test can fail either because the Authentication Server has crashed or because the Authentication Server will not start or stop in a timely fashion. Check the Authentication Server logs for more details. If the test fails because of problems communicating with the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Authentication Server host, check the status of the Cloudera Manager Agent by running /etc/init.d/cloudera-scm-agent status on the Authentication Server host, or look in the Cloudera Manager Agent logs on the Authentication Server host for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the Authentication Server Process Health Test Authentication Server monitoring setting.
Short Name: Process Status
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication Server Process Health Test | Enables the health test that the Authentication Server's process state is consistent with the role configuration | authserver_scm_health_enabled | true | no unit |
Authentication Server Swap Memory Usage
This Authentication 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
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Process Swap Memory Thresholds | The health test thresholds on the swap memory usage of the process. This takes precedence over the host level threshold. | process_swap_memory_thresholds | critical:never, warning:200.0 | BYTES |
Authentication Server Unexpected Exits
This Authentication Server health test checks that the Authentication 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 Authentication Server monitoring settings.
Short Name: Unexpected Exits
| Property Name | Description | Template Name | Default Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period | The period to review when computing unexpected exits. | unexpected_exits_window | 5 | MINUTES |
| Unexpected Exits Thresholds | The health test thresholds for unexpected exits encountered within a recent period specified by the unexpected_exits_window configuration for the role. | unexpected_exits_thresholds | critical:any, warning:never | no unit |
