NFS Gateway Health Tests

NFS Gateway File Descriptors

This NFS Gateway health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the NFS Gateway 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 NFS Gateway monitoring setting.

Short Name: File Descriptors

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
File Descriptor Monitoring Thresholds The health test thresholds of the number of file descriptors used. Specified as a percentage of file descriptor limit. nfsgateway_fd_thresholds critical:70.0, warning:50.0 PERCENT

NFS Gateway Heap Dump Directory Free Space

This NFS Gateway health test checks that the filesystem containing the heap dump directory of this NFS Gateway 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 NFS Gateway 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

NFS Gateway Host Health

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

Short Name: Host Health

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

NFS Gateway Log Directory Free Space

This NFS Gateway health test checks that the filesystem containing the log directory of this NFS Gateway 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 NFS Gateway 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

NFS Gateway Process Status

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

Short Name: Process Status

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

NFS Gateway Swap Memory Usage

This NFS Gateway 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. process_swap_memory_thresholds critical:never, warning:any BYTES

NFS Gateway Temporary Dump Directory Free Space

This is a NFS Gateway health test that checks that the filesystem containing the Temporary Dump Directory of this NFS Gateway has sufficient free space. See the Temporary Dump Directory description on the NFS Gateway configuration page for more information on this directory type. This test can be configured using the Temporary Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Absolute Thresholds and Temporary Dump Directory Free Space Monitoring Percentage Thresholds NFS Gateway monitoring settings.

Short Name: Temporary Dump Directory Free Space

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

NFS Gateway Unexpected Exits

This NFS Gateway health test checks that the NFS Gateway 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 NFS Gateway 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
