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