Apache Ambari Version2.4.0.1

The alterts indicated CRITIAL because of

This happened very very frequently.

Due to networklimitations of the company, I can't paste or upload full log file, I will try to paste in Follow-up posts.

Please kindly help to solve this problem.Thanks.

I had tryied the best answer in

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/48107/ambari-metrics-collector.html

, but no help.

Thanks for your great support.

Ideally the "MaxMetaspaceSize" has no upper limit. Please see:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/vm/gctuning/considerations.html

The amount of native memory that can be used for class metadata is by default unlimited. Use the option MaxMetaspaceSize to put an upper limit on the amount of native memory used for class metadata. 

.

Regarding the tuning parameter you might want to tune it as following:

Something you should try with this:
----------------------------------------
ams-hbase-env::hbase_master_heapsize 1152 MB ===>> 8192 MB 
ams-hbase-env::hbase_master_maxperm_size 128 MB ===>> 128 MB  (or 256 MB)
ams-hbase-env::hbase_regionserver_heapsize 768 MB ===>> 8192 MB 
ams-hbase-env::regionserver_xmn_size 128 MB ===>> 1280 MB  to 1536 MB

.

In JDK 1.8 PermGen space is replaced with MetaSpace. And it is always better to set the "MaxMetaspaceSize" so that if there is any classloader leak then it will not grow beyond the MaxMetaspaceSize boundary else it may cause huge system memory utilization (in case of leak).

And also disable (exclude) HBase per region metrics to avoid data flooding.

Along with cleaning up the recommended directories in the mentioned post, take a look at the AMS tuning guide and set your AMS accordingly:

@icocio my cluster have 40 hosts, I now tuned parameters as >50 , I will monitor if this will help my problem.

@Huahua Wei I had this issue after upgrade from Ambari 2.2.0 and also tried the solution from https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/48107/ambari-metrics-collector.html

In my case the hbase data of metrics collector got corrupt I had to delete all the contents of /var/lib/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase/

Try the following:

  1. Stop ambari metrics.
  2. Backup the contents of /var/lib/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase/
  3. Delete them with rm -rf /var/lib/ambari-metrics-collector/hbase/*
  4. Start ambari metrics.

I hope this help

@Huahua Wei

Please try to first disable the auto start for AMS by commenting the following lines from the file "/etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties". Then restart ambari server.

recovery.type=AUTO_START
recovery.enabled_components=METRICS_COLLECTOR

.

Above will help us in understanding why AMS went down. Due to memory issue/overload ..etc.

Also can you please try to disable (exclude) HBase per region metrics to avoid data flooding. That can be done by explicitly adding the following lines to the end of the file:

*.source.filter.class=org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.filter.GlobFilter
hbase.*.source.filter.exclude=*Regions*

For more information please refer to: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.2.0.0/bk_ambari_reference_guide/content/_enabling...

If this is a production cluster switch to distributed mode will make use of cluster Zookeeper which will make the system a lot more stable.

Embedded mode works perfectly fine for cluster size of 40 nodes albeit, memory and disk are not heavily contended. AMS HBase will write to 1 disk and talk to the embedded zookeeper so starightforward recommendations without looking at the full logs and configs and without changing the mode:

ams-env :: metrics_collector_heapsize = 1024

ams-hbase-env :: hbase_regionserver_heapsize = 4096

Make sure hbase.rootdir and hbase.tmp.dir are not pointing to the same location.

Key is to put hbase.rootdir on a non-contended disk.

If you switch ti distributed mode the disk settings do not matter:

Comment from @Jay SenSharma regarding Region metrics is also important and applicable.

Note: Additionally make sure Xmn settings = 15 % of Xmx in ams-env and ams-hbase-env
