Heap Dump Directory Path to directory where heap dumps are generated when java.lang.OutOfMemoryError error is thrown. This directory is automatically created if it does not exist. If this directory already exists, role user must have write access to this directory. If this directory is shared among multiple roles, it should have 1777 permissions. The heap dump files are created with 600 permissions and are owned by the role user. The amount of free space in this directory should be greater than the maximum Java Process heap size configured for this role. oom_heap_dump_dir /tmp oom_heap_dump_dir false
Dump Heap When Out of Memory When set, generates heap dump file when java.lang.OutOfMemoryError is thrown. true oom_heap_dump_enabled true
Kill When Out of Memory When set, a SIGKILL signal is sent to the role process when java.lang.OutOfMemoryError is thrown. true oom_sigkill_enabled true
Automatically Restart Process When set, this role's process is automatically (and transparently) restarted in the event of an unexpected failure. false process_auto_restart true
Enable Metric Collection Cloudera Manager agent monitors each service and each of its role by publishing metrics to the Cloudera Manager Service Monitor. Setting it to false will stop Cloudera Manager agent from publishing any metric for corresponding service/roles. This is usually helpful for services that generate large amount of metrics which Service Monitor is not able to process. true process_should_monitor true

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

Stacks Collection Frequency The frequency with which stacks are collected. stacks_collection_frequency 5.0 second(s) stacks_collection_frequency false
Stacks Collection Method The method used to collect stacks. The jstack option involves periodically running the jstack command against the role's daemon process. The servlet method is available for those roles that have an HTTP server endpoint exposing the current stacks traces of all threads. When the servlet method is selected, that HTTP endpoint is periodically scraped. stacks_collection_method jstack stacks_collection_method false
