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

- Default Value
- critical:never, warning:never
- Unit(s)
- PERCENT
Ecs Agent Host Health
This Ecs Agent health test factors in the health of the host upon which the Ecs Agent is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the Ecs Agent is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the Ecs Agent Host Health Test Ecs Agent monitoring setting.
Short Name: Host Health
Ecs Agent Host Health Test
- Description
- When computing the overall Ecs Agent health, consider the host's health.

- Default Value
- true
- Unit(s)
- no unit
Ecs Agent Log Directory Free Space
This Ecs Agent health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this Ecs Agent 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 Ecs Agent monitoring settings.
Short Name: Log Directory Free Space

- 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

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

- Default Value
- true
- Unit(s)
- no unit

- Unit(s)
- BYTES
Ecs Agent Unexpected Exits
This Ecs Agent health test checks that the Ecs Agent 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 Ecs Agent monitoring settings.
