Alerts can be generated by setting AutoActions. The AutoActions automate the monitoring of your compute cluster by allowing you to define complex, actionable rules on different cluster metrics. For example, you can use an AutoAction to:

  • Alert you to a situation needing manual intervention such as resource contention or stuck jobs.

  • Automatically kill an app or move it to a different queue.

The Unravel server processes AutoActions by:

  • Collecting various metrics from the cluster.

  • Aggregating the metrics according to user-defined triggers (rule) and scope.

  • Detecting violations.

  • Executing the defined actions for each rule violation.

Each rule consists of the:

  • Trigger Conditions the rules (triggers) which determine when an AutoAction is violated, for example, apps using more than 2 GB of memory.

  • Scope for which the triggers are valid for, for example, the app is owned by User X and on cluster Y.

  • Actions to take when the AutoAction is triggered in the correct scope, for example, send an email to User X.
