Alternatives Priority The priority level that the client configuration will have in the Alternatives system on the hosts. Higher priority levels will cause Alternatives to prefer this configuration over any others. 91 client_config_priority true
Running Job History Location Location to store the job history files of running jobs. This is a path on the host where the JobTracker is running. hadoop.job.history.location /var/log/hadoop-mapreduce/history hadoop_job_history_dir false
SequenceFile I/O Buffer Size Size of buffer for read and write operations of SequenceFiles. io.file.buffer.size 64 KiB io_file_buffer_size false
I/O Sort Factor The number of streams to merge at the same time while sorting files. That is, the number of sort heads to use during the merge sort on the reducer side. This determines the number of open file handles. Merging more files in parallel reduces merge sort iterations and improves run time by eliminating disk I/O. Note that merging more files in parallel uses more memory. If 'io.sort.factor' is set too high or the maximum JVM heap is set too low, excessive garbage collection will occur. The Hadoop default is 10, but Cloudera recommends a higher value. Will be part of generated client configuration. mapreduce.task.io.sort.factor 64 io_sort_factor false
I/O Sort Memory Buffer (MiB) The total amount of memory buffer, in megabytes, to use while sorting files. Note that this memory comes out of the user JVM heap size (meaning total user JVM heap - this amount of memory = total user usable heap space. Note that Cloudera's default differs from Hadoop's default; Cloudera uses a bigger buffer by default because modern machines often have more RAM. The smallest value across all TaskTrackers will be part of generated client configuration. mapreduce.task.io.sort.mb 256 MiB io_sort_mb false
I/O Sort Spill Percent The soft limit in either the buffer or record collection buffers. When this limit is reached, a thread will begin to spill the contents to disk in the background. Note that this does not imply any chunking of data to the spill. A value less than 0.5 is not recommended. The syntax is in decimal units; the default is 80% and is formatted 0.8. Will be part of generated client configuration. mapreduce.map.sort.spill.percent 0.8 io_sort_spill_percent false

Compression Type of MapReduce Job Output For MapReduce job outputs that are compressed as SequenceFiles, you can select one of these compression type options: NONE, RECORD or BLOCK. Cloudera recommends BLOCK. Will be part of generated client configuration. mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.type BLOCK mapred_output_compression_type false
Default Number of Parallel Transfers During Shuffle The default number of parallel transfers run by reduce during the copy (shuffle) phase. This number is calculated by the following formula: min(number_of_nodes, n * min(number_of_cores_per_node, number_of_spindles_per_node)) where the n represents how many streams you want to run per core/spindle. A value of 10 for n is appropriate in most cases. Will be part of generated client configuration. mapreduce.reduce.shuffle.parallelcopies 10 mapred_reduce_parallel_copies 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: 0, threshold: WARN, content: .* is deprecated. Instead, use .* , alert: false, rate: 0, threshold: WARN, content: .* is deprecated. Use .* instead , 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 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: 0, threshold: WARN, content: .* is deprecated. Instead, use .* , 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 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: 0, threshold: WARN, content: .* is deprecated. Instead, use .* , alert: false, rate: 0, threshold: WARN, content: .* is deprecated.

Web Metric Collection Duration The health test thresholds on the duration of the metrics request to the web server. Warning: 10 second(s), Critical: Never resourcemanager_web_metric_collection_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.

Log Event Retry Frequency The frequency in which the log4j event publication appender will retry sending undelivered log events to the Event server, in seconds 30 log_event_retry_frequency 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.

Non-Admin Users Applications List Visibility Settings Controls which applications non-admin users can see in the applications list view ALL user_application_list_settings true
YARN Application Aggregates Controls the aggregate metrics generated for YARN applications. The structure is a JSON list of the attributes to aggregate and the entities to aggregate to. For example, if the attributeName is 'maps_completed' and the aggregationTargets is ['USER'] then the Service Monitor will create the metric 'yarn_application_maps_completed_rate' and, every ten minutes, will record the total maps completed for each user across all their YARN applications. By default it will also record the number of applications submitted ('apps_submitted_rate') for both users and pool. For a full list of the supported attributes see the YARN search page. Note that the valid aggregation targets are USER, YARN_POOL, and YARN (the service), and that these aggregate metrics can be viewed on both the reports and charts search pages. [ attributeName: maps_total, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: reduces_total, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: cpu_milliseconds, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: mb_millis_maps, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: mb_millis_reduces, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: vcores_millis_maps, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: vcores_millis_reduces, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: file_bytes_read, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: file_bytes_written, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: hdfs_bytes_read, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: hdfs_bytes_written, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: cm_cpu_milliseconds, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] , attributeName: application_duration, aggregationTargets: [USER, YARN_POOL_USER, YARN_POOL, YARN, CLUSTER] ] yarn_application_aggregates false

Healthy NodeManager Monitoring Thresholds The health test thresholds of the overall NodeManager health. The check returns "Concerning" health if the percentage of "Healthy" NodeManagers falls below the warning threshold. The check is unhealthy if the total percentage of "Healthy" and "Concerning" NodeManagers falls below the critical threshold. Warning: 95.0 %, Critical: 90.0 % yarn_nodemanagers_healthy_thresholds false
