About MapR 6.1
This site contains the main documentation for Version 6.1 of the MapR Converged Data Platform, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference information.
6.1 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading MapR software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a MapR cluster.
6.1 MapR Data Platform
MapR Data Platform is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.1 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a MapR cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of MapR clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the MapR Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the MapR Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. MapR Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering MapR Gateways
  A MapR gateway mediates one-way communication between a source MapR cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate MapR Database tables (binary and JSON) and MapR Event Store For Apache Kafka streams. MapR gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
  - Monitoring Using the Control System and the CLI

      Explains how to configure how frequently you want to refresh the graphs, and data in the Control System.
    - Customizing the List of Metric Charts and Columns on the Control System
      Explains how to customize the list of metric charts and columns on the Control System.
    - Monitoring the Cluster
      Explains how to view the cluster health, disk, memory, CPU utilization metrics, and alarms on the cluster using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Monitoring Nodes

        Describes how to view volume alarms using the Control System and the CLI.
      - Viewing Active Table Replication Alarms
        Describes how to view active table replication alarms using the Control System and the CLI.
      - Viewing Active Stream Alarms
        Describes how to view active stream alarms using the Control System and the CLI.
    - Monitoring Errors
      Explains how to monitor errors using the Control System.
    - Metering
      The Control System includes a metering feature that can be used to collect cluster storage and compute usage details for consumption-based billing, for actual monthly storage and computations.
  - Using MapR Data Platform Monitoring (Spyglass Initiative)
    MapR Data Platform Monitoring (part of the Spyglass initiative) provides the ability to collect, store, and view metrics and logs for nodes, services, and jobs/applications.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the MapR Data Access Gateway
  The MapR Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the MapR cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.

Viewing Active Cluster Alarms

Describes how to view cluster alarms using the Control System and the CLI.

About this task

You can view cluster alarms using the Control System and the CLI.

Viewing Active Cluster Alarms in the Control System

Procedure

Overview to view all the alarms on the cluster in the Active Alarms pane. To view only the cluster alarms, select Cluster Alarm from the drop-down menu in the Active Alarms pane.
(Alarm Summary) to view all the alarms on the cluster in the All alarms pane. To view only the cluster alarms, select Cluster Alarm from the drop-down menu in the All alarms pane.

You can:

Dismiss an alarm
Mute an alarm

Retrieving Cluster Alarms Using the CLI or REST API

About this task

The basic command to retrieve the alarms for a cluster is:

maprcli alarm list -cluster <cluster name> -type cluster
