Navigator Metadata Server Health Tests

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

Short Name: File Descriptors

This Navigator Metadata Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the heap dump directory of this Navigator Metadata 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 Navigator Metadata Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Heap Dump Directory Free Space

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

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

Short Name: Process Status

This Navigator Metadata 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

This Navigator Metadata Server health test checks that the Navigator Metadata Server 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 Navigator Metadata Server monitoring settings.
