Configuring Cloudera Observability for Cloudera Data Warehouse

To monitor Cloudera Data Warehouse with Cloudera Observability, you must enable observability in your environment. This process varies depending on whether you are configuring a new or existing Cloudera Data Warehouse environment. After you enable, your Virtual Warehouses will display on the Cloudera Observability UI after you run queries or jobs.

New CDW environment

  1. Log in to Cloudera Data Warehouse UI.
  2. You must enable the Enable Observability flag under advanced configurations. By default, the Enable Observability flag is disabled. For more information, see the Advanced configurations in Cloudera Data Warehouse on premises documentation.
  3. You must activate the environment. For more information, see the Activating an environment in Cloudera Data Warehouse on premises documentation.

Step result: When you run a few queries or jobs, your Virtual Warehouses will start displaying on the Cloudera Observability UI.

Existing CDW environment

  1. Log in to Cloudera Data Warehouse UI.
  2. You must enable the Enable Observability flag under advanced configurations. By default, the Enable Observability flag is disabled. For more information, see the Advanced configurations in Cloudera Data Warehouse on premises documentation.
