Working with cluster reports

When enabled, Cloudera Observability mails you daily statistics about your cluster, such as your cluster's performance.

You can use this information to keep track of the number of queries and jobs that are running on your cluster, identify users that are running large numbers of queries, and be alerted to spikes in the number of failed jobs or queries. This saves you from logging in to your cluster and analyzing these numbers yourself.

Cloudera Observability sends the Cluster Report daily at 1:00 AM PDT with the previous day's statistics. It is split into a Data Warehouse section and a Data Engineering section, where:

  • The Data Warehouse section shows the total number of queries and the number of failed queries for the day, as well as how those statistics compare to the same day of the previous week. It also lists the users that ran the most queries and the number of queries they ran in the 24 hour period.
  • The Data Engineering section shows the total number of jobs, the number of failed jobs, and how those numbers compare to the same day of the previous week.
