Monitoring Support for CSDs

Kostas Sakellis edited this page Feb 27, 2014 · 7 revisions

Currently the only type of monitoring that is available to CSD services is what Cloudera Manager refers to as Baseline Monitoring

Baseline Monitoring

Every service in Cloudera Manager, including ones created with CSDs, have baseline monitoring for "free". Baseline monitoring is the standard generic monitoring we perform on processes. This does not require any additional configuration in the service.sdl file. Baseline monitoring includes:

  • process metrics
  • For example, number of open file handles, cpu and memory usage
  • process health checks
  • Alerts of processes are not running

Charts

The charting framework in Cloudera Manager works for CSDs just like it does for every other service. A user can:

  • plot metrics for roles and hosts
  • create a dashboard and save it as the default for role pages.
