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.

Cgroup CPU Shares Number of CPU shares to assign to this role. The greater the number of shares, the larger the share of the host's CPUs that will be given to this role when the host experiences CPU contention. Must be between 2 and 262144. Defaults to 1024 for processes not managed by Cloudera Manager. cpu.shares 1024 rm_cpu_shares true
Cgroup I/O Weight Weight for the read I/O requests issued by this role. The greater the weight, the higher the priority of the requests when the host experiences I/O contention. Must be between 100 and 1000. Defaults to 1000 for processes not managed by Cloudera Manager. blkio.weight 500 rm_io_weight true
Cgroup Memory Hard Limit Hard memory limit to assign to this role, enforced by the Linux kernel. When the limit is reached, the kernel will reclaim pages charged to the process. If reclaiming fails, the kernel may kill the process. Both anonymous as well as page cache pages contribute to the limit. Use a value of -1 B to specify no limit. By default processes not managed by Cloudera Manager will have no limit. memory.limit_in_bytes -1 MiB rm_memory_hard_limit true
Cgroup Memory Soft Limit Soft memory limit to assign to this role, enforced by the Linux kernel. When the limit is reached, the kernel will reclaim pages charged to the process if and only if the host is facing memory pressure. If reclaiming fails, the kernel may kill the process. Both anonymous as well as page cache pages contribute to the limit. Use a value of -1 B to specify no limit. By default processes not managed by Cloudera Manager will have no limit. memory.soft_limit_in_bytes -1 MiB rm_memory_soft_limit true

Enable TLS/SSL for Tablet Server Encrypt communication between clients and Tablet Server using Transport Layer Security (TLS) (formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL)). ssl_enabled false ssl_enabled false
Tablet Server TLS/SSL Server CA Certificate (PEM Format) The path to the TLS/SSL file containing the certificate of the certificate authority (CA) and any intermediate certificates used to sign the server certificate. Used when Tablet Server is acting as a TLS/SSL server. The certificate file must be in PEM format, and is usually created by concatenating all of the appropriate root and intermediate certificates. ssl_server_ca_certificate_location false
Tablet Server TLS/SSL Server Certificate File (PEM Format) The path to the TLS/SSL file containing the server certificate key used for TLS/SSL. Used when Tablet Server is acting as a TLS/SSL server. The certificate file must be in PEM format. webserver_certificate_file ssl_server_certificate_location false
Tablet Server TLS/SSL Server Private Key File (PEM Format) The path to the TLS/SSL file containing the private key used for TLS/SSL. Used when Tablet Server is acting as a TLS/SSL server. The certificate file must be in PEM format. webserver_private_key_file ssl_server_privatekey_location false
Tablet Server TLS/SSL Private Key Password The password for the private key in the Tablet Server TLS/SSL Server Certificate and Private Key file. If left blank, the private key is not protected by a password. webserver_private_key_password_cmd ssl_server_privatekey_password false
