Supported cluster metrics

AutoActions, by default, collects metrics from the YARN Resource Manager and MapReduce Application Master for all apps running (or submitted) on the target cluster. MapReduce Application Master (AM) also maintains various counters. Users can use these metrics and counters when defining an AutoActions rule. Additionally, there are Hive/Workflow and Spark metrics that can be used to define rules.

Note

Monitoring is performed on most live running apps allowing users to take proactive actions when violations are detected. See here for limitations on AutoActions.

Monitoring is only performed on MapReduce AM metrics when the user defines an AutoAction rule that requires the polling/aggregation of a MapReduce AM metric.
