Logger Health Tests

This Logger health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the Logger 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 Logger monitoring setting.

Short Name: File Descriptors

This Logger health test factors in the health of the host upon which the Logger is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the Logger is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the Logger Host Health Test Logger monitoring setting.

Short Name: Host Health

This Logger health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this Logger 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 Logger monitoring settings.

Short Name: Log Directory Free Space

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

Short Name: Process Status

This Logger health test checks that the Logger has not recently exited unexpectedly. The test returns "Bad" health if the number of unexpected exits goes above a critical threshold. For example, if this test is configured with a critical threshold of 1, this test would return "Good" health if there have been no unexpected exits recently. If there has been 1 or more unexpected exits recently, this test would return "Bad" health. This test can be configured using the Unexpected Exits Thresholds and Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period Logger monitoring settings.
