Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules which govern how log messages are turned into events by the custom log4j appender that this role loads. It is in JSON format, and is composed of a list of rules. Every log message is evaluated against each of these rules in turn to decide whether or not to send an event for that message. Each rule has some or all of the following fields:
  • alert - whether or not events generated from this rule should be promoted to alerts. A value of "true" will cause alerts to be generated. If not specified, the default is "false".
  • rate (mandatory) - the maximum number of log messages matching this rule that may be sent as events every minute. If more than rate matching log messages are received in a single minute, the extra messages are ignored. If rate is less than 0, the number of messages per minute is unlimited.
  • periodminutes - the number of minutes during which the publisher will only publish rate events or fewer. If not specified, the default is one minute
  • threshold - apply this rule only to messages with this log4j severity level or above. An example is "WARN" for warning level messages or higher.
  • content - match only those messages whose contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages which are part of an exception message. The exception type must match this regular expression.
Example:{"alert": false, "rate": 10, "exceptiontype": "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException"}This rule will send events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.		 version: 0, rules: [ alert: false, rate: 1, periodminutes: 1, threshold:FATAL, alert: false, rate: 1, periodminutes: 2, exceptiontype: .*, alert: false, rate: 1, periodminutes: 1, threshold:WARN ] log_event_whitelist false
Process Swap Memory Thresholds The health test thresholds on the swap memory usage of the process. Warning: Any, Critical: Never process_swap_memory_thresholds false
Role Triggers The configured triggers for this role. This is a JSON formatted list of triggers. These triggers are evaluated as part as the health system. Every trigger expression is parsed, and if the trigger condition is met, the list of actions provided in the trigger expression is executed. Each trigger has the following fields:
  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific role.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.
For example, the following JSON formatted trigger configured for a DataNode fires if the DataNode has more than 1500 file descriptors opened:[{"triggerName": "sample-trigger", "triggerExpression": "IF (SELECT fd_open WHERE roleName=$ROLENAME and last(fd_open) > 1500) DO health:bad", "streamThreshold": 0, "enabled": "true"}]See the trigger rules documentation for more details on how to write triggers using tsquery.The JSON format is evolving and may change and, as a result, backward compatibility is not guaranteed between releases.

Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules which govern how log messages are turned into events by the custom log4j appender that this role loads. It is in JSON format, and is composed of a list of rules. Every log message is evaluated against each of these rules in turn to decide whether or not to send an event for that message. Each rule has some or all of the following fields:
  • alert - whether or not events generated from this rule should be promoted to alerts. A value of "true" will cause alerts to be generated. If not specified, the default is "false".
  • rate (mandatory) - the maximum number of log messages matching this rule that may be sent as events every minute. If more than rate matching log messages are received in a single minute, the extra messages are ignored. If rate is less than 0, the number of messages per minute is unlimited.
  • periodminutes - the number of minutes during which the publisher will only publish rate events or fewer. If not specified, the default is one minute
  • threshold - apply this rule only to messages with this log4j severity level or above. An example is "WARN" for warning level messages or higher.
  • content - match only those messages whose contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages which are part of an exception message. The exception type must match this regular expression.
Example:{"alert": false, "rate": 10, "exceptiontype": "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException"}This rule will send events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.		 version: 0, rules: [ alert: false, rate: 1, periodminutes: 1, threshold:FATAL, alert: false, rate: 0, exceptiontype: java.io.IOException, alert: false, rate: 0, exceptiontype: java.net.SocketException, alert: false, rate: 0, exceptiontype: java.net.SocketClosedException, alert: false, rate: 0, exceptiontype: java.io.EOFException, alert: false, rate: 0, exceptiontype: java.nio.channels.CancelledKeyException, alert: false, rate: 0, threshold:WARN, content: .* is deprecated.

Role Triggers The configured triggers for this role. This is a JSON formatted list of triggers. These triggers are evaluated as part as the health system. Every trigger expression is parsed, and if the trigger condition is met, the list of actions provided in the trigger expression is executed. Each trigger has the following fields:
  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific role.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.
For example, the following JSON formatted trigger configured for a DataNode fires if the DataNode has more than 1500 file descriptors opened:[{"triggerName": "sample-trigger", "triggerExpression": "IF (SELECT fd_open WHERE roleName=$ROLENAME and last(fd_open) > 1500) DO health:bad", "streamThreshold": 0, "enabled": "true"}]See the trigger rules documentation for more details on how to write triggers using tsquery.The JSON format is evolving and may change and, as a result, backward compatibility is not guaranteed between releases.

Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules which govern how log messages are turned into events by the custom log4j appender that this role loads. It is in JSON format, and is composed of a list of rules. Every log message is evaluated against each of these rules in turn to decide whether or not to send an event for that message. Each rule has some or all of the following fields:
  • alert - whether or not events generated from this rule should be promoted to alerts. A value of "true" will cause alerts to be generated. If not specified, the default is "false".
  • rate (mandatory) - the maximum number of log messages matching this rule that may be sent as events every minute. If more than rate matching log messages are received in a single minute, the extra messages are ignored. If rate is less than 0, the number of messages per minute is unlimited.
  • periodminutes - the number of minutes during which the publisher will only publish rate events or fewer. If not specified, the default is one minute
  • threshold - apply this rule only to messages with this log4j severity level or above. An example is "WARN" for warning level messages or higher.
  • content - match only those messages whose contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages which are part of an exception message. The exception type must match this regular expression.
Example:{"alert": false, "rate": 10, "exceptiontype": "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException"}This rule will send events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.		 version: 0, rules: [ alert: false, rate: 1, periodminutes: 1, threshold:FATAL, alert: false, rate: 0, threshold:WARN, content: .* is deprecated.

Role Triggers The configured triggers for this role. This is a JSON formatted list of triggers. These triggers are evaluated as part as the health system. Every trigger expression is parsed, and if the trigger condition is met, the list of actions provided in the trigger expression is executed. Each trigger has the following fields:
  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific role.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.
For example, the following JSON formatted trigger configured for a DataNode fires if the DataNode has more than 1500 file descriptors opened:[{"triggerName": "sample-trigger", "triggerExpression": "IF (SELECT fd_open WHERE roleName=$ROLENAME and last(fd_open) > 1500) DO health:bad", "streamThreshold": 0, "enabled": "true"}]See the trigger rules documentation for more details on how to write triggers using tsquery.The JSON format is evolving and may change and, as a result, backward compatibility is not guaranteed between releases.

HBase HRegion Major Compaction Jitter Jitter outer bound for major compactions.
 On each RegionServer, the hbase.region.majorcompaction
 interval is multiplied by a random fraction that is inside the bounds of this
 maximum. This + or - product is added to when the next
 major compaction is to run. Major compaction
 should not occur on every RegionServer at the same time. The

HBase Memstore Block Multiplier Blocks writes if the size of the memstore increases to the value of 'hbase.hregion.block.memstore' multiplied by the value of 'hbase.hregion.flush.size' bytes. This setting is useful for preventing runaway memstore during spikes in update traffic. Without an upper-bound, memstore fills such that when it flushes, the resultant process of flushing files take a long time to compact or split, or worse, an "out of memory" error occurs. hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier 2 hbase_hregion_memstore_block_multiplier false

HBase Memstore Pre-close Flush Size If the memstores in a region are this size or larger when closing, run a pre-flush process to clear out memstores before putting up the region closed flag and taking the region offline. On close, a flush process is run under the close flag up to empty memory. During this time, the region is offline and no writes are taken. If the memstore content is large, the flush process could take a long time to complete. The pre-flush process cleans out the bulk of the memstore before putting up the close flag and taking the region offline, so that the flush process that runs under the close flag has little to do. hbase.hregion.preclose.flush.size 5 MiB hbase_hregion_preclose_flush_size false

HStore Blocking Wait Time The period of time that an HRegion will block updates after reaching the HStoreFile limit that is specified by 'hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles'. After this time has elapsed, the HRegion will stop blocking updates even if a compaction has not been completed. hbase.hstore.blockingWaitTime 1 minute(s), 30 second(s) hbase_hstore_blockingWaitTime false

HStore Compaction Threshold If this number of HStoreFiles in any one HStore is exceeded, then a compaction is run to rewrite all HStoreFiles files as one HStoreFile. (One HStoreFile is written per flush of memstore.) You can delay compaction by specifying a larger number, but the compaction will take longer when it does run. During a compaction, updates cannot be flushed to disk. Long compactions require memory sufficient to carry the logging of all updates across the duration of the compaction.

Enable Audit Collection Enable collection of audit events from the service's roles. true navigator_audit_enabled false
Audit Event Filter Event filters are defined in a JSON object like the following: { "defaultAction" : ("accept", "discard"), "rules" : [ { "action" : ("accept", "discard"), "fields" : [ { "name" : "fieldName", "match" : "regex" } ] } ] } A filter has a default action and a list of rules, in order of precedence. Each rule defines an action, and a list of fields to match against the audit event. A rule is "accepted" if all the listed field entries match the audit event. At that point, the action declared by the rule is taken. If no rules match the event, the default action is taken. Actions default to "accept" if not defined in the JSON object. The following is the list of fields that can be filtered for HBase events:
  • allowed: whether the operation was allowed or denied.
  • username: the user performing the action.
  • tableName: the table affected by the operation.
  • family: the column family affected by the operation.
  • qualifier: the qualifier the operation.
  • action: the action being performed.
The default HBase audit event filter discards events that affect the internal -ROOT-, .META. and _acl_ tables.		 navigator.event.filter comment : [ The default HBase audit event filter discards events that affect the , internal -ROOT-, .META. and _acl_ tables. ], defaultAction : accept, rules : [ action : discard, fields : [ name : tableName, match : (?:-ROOT-|.META.|_acl_|hbase:meta|hbase:acl) ] ] navigator_audit_event_filter false
Audit Queue Policy Action to take when the audit event queue is full. Drop the event or shutdown the affected process. navigator.batch.queue_policy DROP navigator_audit_queue_policy false
Audit Event Tracker Configures the rules for event tracking and coalescing. This feature is used to define equivalency between different audit events. When events match, according to a set of configurable parameters, only one entry in the audit list is generated for all the matching events. Tracking works by keeping a reference to events when they first appear, and comparing other incoming events against the "tracked" events according to the rules defined here. Event trackers are defined in a JSON object like the following: { "timeToLive" : [integer], "fields" : [ { "type" : [string], "name" : [string] } ] } Where:
  • timeToLive: maximum amount of time an event will be tracked, in milliseconds. Must be provided. This defines how long, since it's first seen, an event will be tracked. A value of 0 disables tracking.
  • fields: list of fields to compare when matching events against tracked events.
Each field has an evaluator type associated with it. The evaluator defines how the field data is to be compared. The following evaluators are available:
  • value: uses the field value for comparison.
  • username: treats the field value as a user name, and ignores any host-specific data. This is useful for environment using Kerberos, so that only the principal name and realm are compared.
The following is the list of fields that can used to compare HBase events:
  • operation: the HBase operation being performed.
  • username: the user performing the action.
  • ipAddress: the IP from where the request originated.
  • allowed: whether the operation was allowed or denied.
  • tableName: the name of the table affected by the operation.
  • family: the column family affected by the operation.
  • qualifier: the qualifier of the operation.
The default event tracker for HBase services defines equality by comparing the username, operation, table name, family, and qualifier of the events.		 navigator_event_tracker comment : [ The default event tracker for HBase services defines equality by , comparing the username, operation, table name, family, and qualifier of , the events. ], timeToLive : 60000, fields : [ type: value, name : tableName , type: value, name : family , type: value, name : qualifier , type: value, name : operation , type: username, name : username ] navigator_event_tracker false

Service Triggers The configured triggers for this service. This is a JSON formatted list of triggers. These triggers are evaluated as part as the health system. Every trigger expression is parsed, and if the trigger condition is met, the list of actions provided in the trigger expression is executed. Each trigger has the following fields:
  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific service.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.
For example, the followig JSON formatted trigger fires if there are more than 10 DataNodes with more than 500 file descriptors opened:[{"triggerName": "sample-trigger", "triggerExpression": "IF (SELECT fd_open WHERE roleType = DataNode and last(fd_open) > 500) DO health:bad", "streamThreshold": 10, "enabled": "true"}]See the trigger rules documentation for more details on how to write triggers using tsquery.The JSON format is evolving and may change and, as a result, backward compatibility is not guaranteed between releases.
