Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Health Tests

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Audit Pipeline Test

This Navigator HSM KMS Metastore health test checks that the Auditing for the Navigator HSM KMS Metastore role is getting processed correctly and is not blocked. A failure of this health test may indicate a problem with the audit pipeline of Navigator HSM KMS Metastore process. This test can fail either because the Cloudera Audit Server is not accepting audits, or the Cloudera Manager Agent on the Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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 Navigator HSM KMS Metastore monitoring setting.

Short Name: Audit Pipeline Test

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Monitoring Period For Audit Failures The period to review when checking if audits are blocked and not getting processed. mgmt_navigator_failure_window 20 MINUTES
Navigator Audit Failure Thresholds The health test thresholds for failures encountered when monitoring audits within a recent period specified by the mgmt_navigator_failure_window configuration for the role. The value that can be specified for this threshold is the number of bytes of audits data that is left to be sent to audit server. mgmt_navigator_failure_thresholds critical:any, warning:never BYTES
Navigator Audit Pipeline Health Check Enable test of audit events processing pipeline. This will test if audit events are not getting processed by Audit Server for a role that generates audit. mgmt_navigator_status_check_enabled true no unit

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore File Descriptors

This Navigator HSM KMS Metastore health test checks that the number of file descriptors used does not rise above some percentage of the Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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 Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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. hsmkp_metastore_thales_fd_thresholds critical:70.0, warning:50.0 PERCENT

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Host Health

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

Short Name: Host Health

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Host Health Test When computing the overall Navigator HSM KMS Metastore health, consider the host's health. hsmkp_metastore_thales_host_health_enabled true no unit

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Process Status

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

Short Name: Process Status

Property Name Description Template Name Default Value Unit
Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Process Health Test Enables the health test that the Navigator HSM KMS Metastore's process state is consistent with the role configuration hsmkp_metastore_thales_scm_health_enabled true no unit

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Swap Memory Usage

This Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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

Navigator HSM KMS Metastore Unexpected Exits

This Navigator HSM KMS Metastore health test checks that the Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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 Navigator HSM KMS Metastore 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
