These steps will enable DevOps and Data Management teams to…
-
Gain near real-time visibility into day-to-day operational data engineering processes.
-
Automate manual monitoring activities and suppress noise.
-
Build near real-time visualizations to monitor those processes and trends using Cloudera Manager (CM) API, NIFI Pipeline, and NiFi APIs.
-
Find hidden patterns in process issues to troubleshoot, diagnose, and quickly action failing, troublesome, and resource-intensive processes.
-
Mine for insights into Yarn, Cloudera AI Workbench, AirFlow, and NIFI processor logs/database.
-
Improve platform optimization and control user behaviors.
-
Become more proactive with incident resolution.
We will provide you with a framework that runs locally on your cluster and is customizable by security-restricted telemetry tools that require data to be sent outside the cluster. The framework provides insights into the processes that trigger workloads on the Cloudera Private Cloud Base platform, including:
| KPI Monitoring Framework | Scheduling / ETL Tool | Workloads Triggered | API / Data Source Used |
| Airflow Jobs Monitor | Airflow - Python, SPARK | Yarn jobs status | Python script - Airflow database |
| CDSW Jobs Monitor | CDSW - Python | CDSW jobs status | Python script - Cdsw database |
| NIFI Processor Monitor | NiFi - Python | NIFI processor status | NIFI Flow - NIFI app logs |
| Spark/Yarn jobs Monitor | NIFI - Python | Spark/Yarn jobs status | NIFI Flow - Python script |
