Hue Server Health Tests

Hue Server Audit Pipeline Test

This Hue Server health test checks that the Auditing for the Hue Server role is getting processed correctly and is not blocked. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the audit pipeline of Hue Server process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Hue Server host isn't able to send audits because of some network issue. Check the Cloudera Manager Agent logs and Cloudera Audit Server logs for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the Navigator Audit Pipeline Health Check Hue Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Audit Pipeline Test

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit

Hue Server File Descriptors

This Hue Server health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the Hue Server file descriptor limit. A failure of this health test may indicate a bug in either Hadoop or Cloudera Manager. Contact Cloudera support. This test can be configured using the File Descriptor Monitoring Thresholds Hue Server monitoring setting.

Hue Server Heap Dump Directory Free Space

This Hue Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the heap dump directory of this Hue Server has sufficient free space. This test can be configured using the Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds and Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds Hue Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Heap Dump Directory Free Space

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's heap dump directory. heap_dump_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10 BYTES
Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's heap dump directory. Specified as a percentage of the capacity on that filesystem. This setting is not used if a Heap Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds setting is configured. heap_dump_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds critical:never, warning:never PERCENT

Hue Server Host Health

This Hue Server health test factors in the health of the host upon which the Hue Server is running. A failure of this test means that the host running the Hue Server is experiencing some problem. See that host's status page for more details.This test can be enabled or disabled using the Hue Server Host Health Test Hue Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Host Health

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Hue Server Host Health Test When computing the overall Hue Server health, consider the host's health. hue_server_host_health_enabled true no unit

Hue Server Log Directory Free Space

This Hue Server health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this Hue Server has sufficient free space. This test can be configured using the Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds and Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds Hue Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Log Directory Free Space

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory. log_directory_free_space_absolute_thresholds critical:5.36870912E9, warning:1.073741824E10 BYTES
Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds The health test thresholds for monitoring of free space on the filesystem that contains this role's log directory. Specified as a percentage of the capacity on that filesystem. This setting is not used if a Log Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds setting is configured. log_directory_free_space_percentage_thresholds critical:never, warning:never PERCENT

Hue Server Process Status

This Hue Server health test checks that the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Hue Server host is heart beating correctly and that the process associated with the Hue Server role is in the state expected by Cloudera Manager. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the Hue Server process, a lack of connectivity to the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Hue Server host, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. This test can fail either because the Hue Server has crashed or because the Hue Server will not start or stop in a timely fashion. Check the Hue Server logs for more details. If the test fails because of problems communicating with the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Hue Server host, check the status of the Cloudera Manager Agent by running /etc/init.d/cloudera-scm-agent status on the Hue Server host, or look in the Cloudera Manager Agent logs on the Hue Server host for more details. This test can be enabled or disabled using the Hue Server Process Health Test Hue Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Process Status

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Hue Server Process Health Test Enables the health test that the Hue Server's process state is consistent with the role configuration hue_server_scm_health_enabled true no unit

Hue Server Swap Memory Usage

This Hue Server health test checks the amount of swap memory in use by the role. A failure of this health test may indicate that your machine is overloaded. This test can be configured using the Process Swap Memory Thresholds monitoring settings.

Short Name: Swap Memory Usage

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Process Swap Memory Thresholds The health test thresholds on the swap memory usage of the process. This takes precedence over the host level threshold. process_swap_memory_thresholds critical:never, warning:200.0 BYTES

Hue Server Unexpected Exits

This Hue Server health test checks that the Hue Server has not recently exited unexpectedly. The test returns "Bad" health if the number of unexpected exits exceeds a critical threshold. For example, if this test is configured with a critical threshold of 1, this test returns "Good" health if there have been no unexpected exits recently. If 1 or more unexpected exits occured recently, this test returns "Bad" health. The test also indicates whether any of the exits were caused by an OutOfMemory error if the Cloudera Manager Kill When Out of Memory monitoring setting is enabled. This test can be configured using the Unexpected Exits Thresholds and Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period Hue Server monitoring settings.

Short Name: Unexpected Exits

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Unexpected Exits Monitoring Period The period to review when computing unexpected exits. unexpected_exits_window 5 MINUTES
Unexpected Exits Thresholds The health test thresholds for unexpected exits encountered within a recent period specified by the unexpected_exits_window configuration for the role. unexpected_exits_thresholds critical:any, warning:never no unit

Hue Server Web Server Status

This health test checks that the role's web server is responding quickly to requests by the Cloudera Manager Agent, and that the Cloudera Manager Agent can collect metrics from the web server. Failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the web server of the Hue Server, a misconfiguration of the Hue Server, or a problem with the Cloudera Manager Agent. Consult the Cloudera Manager Agent logs and the logs of the Hue Server for more detail. If the test failure message indicates a communication problem, the Cloudera Manager Agent's HTTP requests to the Hue Server's web server are failing or timing out. If the test's failure message indicates an unexpected response, the Hue Server's web server responded to the Cloudera Manager Agent's request, but the response could not be interpreted for some reason. This test can be configured using the Web Metric Collection Hue Server monitoring setting.

Short Name: Web Server Status

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Web Metric Collection Enables the health test that the Cloudera Manager Agent can successfully contact and gather metrics from the web server. hue_server_web_metric_collection_enabled true no unit
Web Metric Collection Duration The health test thresholds on the duration of the metrics request to the web server. hue_server_web_metric_collection_thresholds critical:never, warning:10000.0 MILLISECONDS
