Using the Multi Cloudera Manager Status Dashboard

Use the Multi Cloudera Manager Status Dashboard Status page to monitor the CDH clusters managed by the Cloudera
Manager instancess you have added to the
Multi Cloudera Manager Dashboard. The Status tab displays a table with
rows that
contain information about each cluster. Within each row, you can click links to display additional information and
go to the relevant Cloudera Manager, cluster, or service.

You configure which columns display by creating Profiles. The name of the active profile displays in a button
on the right

of the screen above the table of Cloudera Managers. You can choose which profile is active by clicking next to the
profile name and selecting a new profile.

In a profile, you can also select Metrics, which are queries that display metrics about the functionality of each cluster. A
set of metrics are
provided, and you can create custom metrics using the tsquery Language.

Using the Filters section, you can limit the rows displayed by selecting
various values of the displayed columns. You can
define which columns are used as filters in the profile.

Multi Cloudera Manager Status Dashboard Metrics

The Multi Cloudera Manager Dashboard has a number of default queries you can use to display
metrics. You select
which metrics display by defining a Profile. See Installing and Managing the Multi Cloudera Manager Dashboard.
You can
also create custom queries by using the tsquery Language to write queries on data from the Cloudera Manager time-

Indicator Status Description

Started with outdated For a service, this indicates the service is running, but at least one of its
configuration roles is running with a configuration that does not
match the current
configuration settings in Cloudera Manager. For a role, this indicates a
configuration change has been made that requires a restart, and that
restart has not yet occurred.
Click the indicator to display the Stale
Configurations page.
Starting The entity is starting up but is not yet running.

Stopping The entity is stopping but has not stopped yet.

Stopped The entity is stopped, as expected.

Down The entity is not running, but it is expected to be running.

History not available Cloudera Manager is in historical mode, and the entity does not have
historical monitoring support. This is the case for services
other than
HDFS, MapReduce and HBase such as ZooKeeper, Oozie, and Hue.
None The entity does not have a status. For example, it is not something that
can be running and it cannot have health. Examples are the
HDFS
Balancer (which runs from the HDFS Rebalance action) or Gateway
roles. The Start and Stop commands are not applicable to these
instances.
Good health The entity is running with good health. For a specific health test, the
returned result is normal or within the acceptable range.
For a role or
service, this means all health tests for that role or service are Good.
Concerning health The entity is running with concerning health. For a specific health test, the
returned result indicates a potential problem.
Typically this means the test
  
result has gone above (or below) a configured Warning threshold. For a
role or service, this means that at least one health test is Concerning.
Bad health The entity is running with bad health. For a specific health test, the test
failed, or the returned result indicates a serious
problem. Typically this
means the test result has gone above (or below) a configured Critical
threshold. For a role or service, this means that at least one health test is
Bad.
Disabled health The entity is running, but all of its health tests are disabled.

Unknown health The status of a service or role instance is unknown. This can occur for a
number of reasons, such as the Service Monitor is not
running, or
connectivity to the Agent doing the health monitoring has been lost.
