Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules that 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. If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.

If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.

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.

DataNode Data Directory Comma-delimited list of directories on the local file system where the DataNode stores HDFS block data. Typical values are /data/N/dfs/dn for N = 1, 2, 3.... In CDH 5.7 and higher, these directories can be optionally tagged with their storage types, for example, [SSD]/data/1/dns/dn. HDFS supports the following storage types: [DISK], [SSD], [ARCHIVE], [RAM_DISK]. The default storage type of a directory will be [DISK] if it does not have a storage type tagged explicitly. These directories should be mounted using the noatime option, and the disks should be configured using JBOD. RAID is not recommended. Warning: Be very careful when modifying this property. Removing or changing entries can result in data loss. To hot swap drives in CDH 5.4 and higher, override the value of this property for the specific DataNode role instance that has the drive to be hot-swapped; do not modify the property value in the role group. See Configuring Hot Swap for DataNodes for more information. dfs.datanode.data.dir dfs_data_dir_list true

Enable purging cache after reads In some workloads, the data read from HDFS is known to be significantly large enough that it is unlikely to be useful to cache it in the operating system buffer cache. In this case, the DataNode may be configured to automatically purge all data from the buffer cache after it is delivered to the client. This may improve performance for some workloads by freeing buffer cache spare usage for more cacheable data. This behavior will always be disabled for workloads that read only short sections of a block (e.g HBase random-IO workloads). This property is supported in CDH3u3 or later deployments. dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads false dfs_datanode_drop_cache_behind_reads false
Enable purging cache after writes In some workloads, the data written to HDFS is known to be significantly large enough that it is unlikely to be useful to cache it in the operating system buffer cache. In this case, the DataNode may be configured to automatically purge all data from the buffer cache after it is written to disk.

Maximum Number of Transfer Threads Specifies the maximum number of threads to use for transferring data in and out of the DataNode. dfs.datanode.max.transfer.threads 4096 dfs_datanode_max_xcievers false
Number of read ahead bytes While reading block files, the DataNode can use the posix_fadvise system call to explicitly page data into the operating system buffer cache ahead of the current reader's position. This can improve performance especially when disks are highly contended. This configuration specifies the number of bytes ahead of the current read position which the DataNode will attempt to read ahead. A value of 0 disables this feature. This property is supported in CDH3u3 or later deployments. dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes 4 MiB dfs_datanode_readahead_bytes false
Enable immediate enqueuing of data to disk after writes If this configuration is enabled, the DataNode will instruct the operating system to enqueue all written data to the disk immediately after it is written. This differs from the usual OS policy which may wait for up to 30 seconds before triggering writeback. This may improve performance for some workloads by smoothing the IO profile for data written to disk. This property is supported in CDH3u3 or later deployments. dfs.datanode.sync.behind.writes false dfs_datanode_sync_behind_writes false

Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules that 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. If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.
 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
Navigator Audit Failure Thresholds The health test thresholds for failures encountered when monitoring audits within a recent period specified by the mgmt_navigator_failure_window configuration for the role.

Monitoring Period For Audit Failures The period to review when checking if audits are blocked and not getting processed. mgmt.navigator.failure.window 20 minute(s) mgmt_navigator_failure_window false
Navigator Audit Pipeline Health Check Enable test of audit events processing pipeline. This will test if audit events are not getting processed by Audit Server for a role that generates audit. mgmt.navigator.status.check.enabled true mgmt_navigator_status_check_enabled 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.

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 that 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. If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.
 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

Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules that 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. If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.

Rules to Extract Events from Log Files This file contains the rules that 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. If a log message matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is used.. 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 can 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 for which contents match this regular expression.
  • exceptiontype - match only those messages that 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 sends events to Cloudera Manager for every StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, up to a maximum of 10 every minute.
  • {"alert": false, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "exceptiontype": ".*"}, {"alert": true, "rate": 1, "periodminutes": 1, "threshold":"ERROR"}In this example, an event generated may not be promoted to alert if an exception is in the ERROR log message, because the first rule with alert = false will match.

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.

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 HDFS events:
  • username: the user performing the action.
  • ipAddress: the IP from where the request originated.
  • command: the HDFS operation being performed.
  • src: the source path for the operation.
  • dest: the destination path for the operation.
  • permissions: the permissions associated with the operation.
The default HDFS audit event filter discards events generated by the internal Cloudera and Hadoop users (cloudera-scm, dr.who, hbase, hive, impala, mapred, solr, and spark), 'ls' actions performed by the hdfs user, operations in the Cloudera Hive canary directory, and events that affect files in the /tmp directory."		 navigator.event.filter comment: [ The default HDFS audit event filter discards events generated by the internal , Cloudera and Hadoop users (cloudera-scm, dr.who, hbase, hive, impala, , mapred, solr, and spark), \u0027ls\u0027 actions performed by the hdfs user, , operations in the Cloudera Hive canary directory, and events that affect , files in the /tmp directory. ], defaultAction: accept, rules: [ action: discard, fields: [ name: username, match: (?:cloudera-scm|dr.who|hbase|hive|impala|mapred|solr|spark)(?:/.+)? ] , action: discard, fields: [ name: username, match: (?:hdfs)(?:/.+)? , name: operation, match: (?:listStatus|listCachePools|listCacheDirectives|getfileinfo) ] , action: discard, fields: [ name: src, match: /user/hue/\\.cloudera_manager_hive_metastore_canary(?:/.*)? ] , action: discard, fields: [ name: src, match: /user/hue/\\.Trash/Current/user/hue/\\.cloudera_manager_hive_metastore_canary(?:/.*)? ] , action: discard, fields: [ name: src, match: /tmp(?:/.*)? ] ] 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 be used to compare HDFS events:
  • operation: the HDFS 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.
  • src: the source path for the operation.
  • dest: the destination path for the operation.
  • permissions: the permissions associated with the operation.
The default event tracker for HDFS services defines equality by comparing the username, operation, and source path of the events.		 navigator_event_tracker comment: [ The default event tracker for HDFS services defines equality by , comparing the username, operation, and source path of the events. ], timeToLive: 60000, fields: [ type: value, name: src , type: value, name: operation , type: username, name: username ] navigator_event_tracker false

  • 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.
