HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.2 Documentation

6.2 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 data-fabric 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 HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the MapR Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Data Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure MapR security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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.
  - maprcli and REST API Syntax
    This section provides information about the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric command API. Most commands can be run on the command-line interface (CLI), or by making REST requests programmatically or in a browser.
  - Utilities
    Contains information about various scripts and utilities, that help setup, maintain, and monitor clusters.
  - Configuration Files
    This section contains reference information about various configuration files.
  - Alarms Reference

No Heartbeat Alarm

Describes the NODE_ALARM_NO_HEARTBEAT alarm.

UI Column: No Heartbeat Alarm
Logged As: NODE_ALARM_NO_HEARTBEAT
Meaning: Node is not undergoing maintenance, and no heartbeat detected for over 5 minutes.
Resolution: Check the status of the node manually.
Configuration: Configurable at cluster level. See Configuring the Alarm Threshold Using the CLI for more information.

This alarm is raised when a node is down for more than 5 minutes. By default, this alarm is not raised if an edge node is down. To raise an alarm for edge nodes as well, set the CLDB parameter cldb.ignore.posix.only.hb.alarm to 0 using the command:

/opt/mapr/bin/maprcli config save -values '{cldb.ignore.posix.only.hb.alarm:"0"}'
