If you don't, please follow +the [official Hadoop +instructions](http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html) or an +alternative, like the guide available from +[DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-hadoop-in-stand-alone-mode-on-ubuntu-18-04). + +For more specifics on the collection modules used in this guide, read the respective pages in our documentation: + +- [HDFS](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/hdfs) +- [Zookeeper](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/zookeeper) + +## Set up your HDFS and Zookeeper installations + +As with all data sources, Netdata can auto-detect HDFS and Zookeeper nodes if you installed them using the standard +installation procedure. + +For Netdata to collect HDFS metrics, it needs to be able to access the node's `/jmx` endpoint. You can test whether an +JMX endpoint is accessible by using `curl HDFS-IP:PORT/jmx`. For a NameNode, you should see output similar to the +following: + +```json +{ + "beans" : [ { + "name" : "Hadoop:service=NameNode,name=JvmMetrics", + "modelerType" : "JvmMetrics", + "MemNonHeapUsedM" : 65.67851, + "MemNonHeapCommittedM" : 67.3125, + "MemNonHeapMaxM" : -1.0, + "MemHeapUsedM" : 154.46341, + "MemHeapCommittedM" : 215.0, + "MemHeapMaxM" : 843.0, + "MemMaxM" : 843.0, + "GcCount" : 15, + "GcTimeMillis" : 305, + "GcNumWarnThresholdExceeded" : 0, + "GcNumInfoThresholdExceeded" : 0, + "GcTotalExtraSleepTime" : 92, + "ThreadsNew" : 0, + "ThreadsRunnable" : 6, + "ThreadsBlocked" : 0, + "ThreadsWaiting" : 7, + "ThreadsTimedWaiting" : 34, + "ThreadsTerminated" : 0, + "LogFatal" : 0, + "LogError" : 0, + "LogWarn" : 2, + "LogInfo" : 348 + }, + { ... } + ] +} +``` + +The JSON result for a DataNode's `/jmx` endpoint is slightly different: + +```json +{ + "beans" : [ { + "name" : "Hadoop:service=DataNode,name=DataNodeActivity-dev-slave-01.dev.loc +al-9866", + "modelerType" : "DataNodeActivity-dev-slave-01.dev.local-9866", + "tag.SessionId" : null, + "tag.Context" : "dfs", + "tag.Hostname" : "dev-slave-01.dev.local", + "BytesWritten" : 500960407, + "TotalWriteTime" : 463, + "BytesRead" : 80689178, + "TotalReadTime" : 41203, + "BlocksWritten" : 16, + "BlocksRead" : 16, + "BlocksReplicated" : 4, + ... + }, + { ... } + ] +} +``` + +If Netdata can't access the `/jmx` endpoint for either a NameNode or DataNode, it will not be able to auto-detect and +collect metrics from your HDFS implementation. + +Zookeeper auto-detection relies on an accessible client port and a allow-listed `mntr` command. For more details on +`mntr`, see Zookeeper's documentation on [cluster +options](https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_clusterOptions) and [Zookeeper +commands](https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_zkCommands). + +## Configure the HDFS and Zookeeper modules + +To configure Netdata's HDFS module, navigate to your Netdata directory (typically at `/etc/netdata/`) and use +`edit-config` to initialize and edit your HDFS configuration file. + +```bash +cd /etc/netdata/ +sudo ./edit-config go.d/hdfs.conf +``` + +At the bottom of the file, you will see two example jobs, both of which are commented out: + +```yaml +# [ JOBS ] +#jobs: +# - name: namenode +# url: http://127.0.0.1:9870/jmx +# +# - name: datanode +# url: http://127.0.0.1:9864/jmx +``` + +Uncomment these lines and edit the `url` value(s) according to your setup. Now's the time to add any other configuration +details, which you can find inside of the `hdfs.conf` file itself. Most production implementations will require TLS +certificates. + +The result for a simple HDFS setup, running entirely on `localhost` and without certificate authentication, might look +like this: + +```yaml +# [ JOBS ] +jobs: + - name: namenode + url: http://127.0.0.1:9870/jmx + + - name: datanode + url: http://127.0.0.1:9864/jmx +``` + +At this point, Netdata should be configured to collect metrics from your HDFS servers. Let's move on to Zookeeper. + +Next, use `edit-config` again to initialize/edit your `zookeeper.conf` file. + +```bash +cd /etc/netdata/ +sudo ./edit-config go.d/zookeeper.conf +``` + +As with the `hdfs.conf` file, head to the bottom, uncomment the example jobs, and tweak the `address` values according +to your setup. Again, you may need to add additional configuration options, like TLS certificates. + +```yaml +jobs: + - name : local + address : 127.0.0.1:2181 + + - name : remote + address : 203.0.113.10:2182 +``` + +Finally, restart Netdata. + +```sh +sudo service restart netdata +``` + +Upon restart, Netdata should recognize your HDFS/Zookeeper servers, enable the HDFS and Zookeeper modules, and begin +showing real-time metrics for both in your Netdata dashboard. 🎉 + +## Configuring HDFS and Zookeeper alarms + +The Netdata community helped us create sane defaults for alarms related to both HDFS and Zookeeper. You may want to +investigate these to ensure they work well with your Hadoop implementation. + +- [HDFS alarms](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/health/health.d/hdfs.conf) +- [Zookeeper alarms](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/health/health.d/zookeeper.conf) + +You can also access/edit these files directly with `edit-config`: + +```bash +sudo /etc/netdata/edit-config health.d/hdfs.conf +sudo /etc/netdata/edit-config health.d/zookeeper.conf +``` + +For more information about editing the defaults or writing new alarm entities, see our [health monitoring +documentation](/health/README.md). + +## What's next? + +If you're having issues with Netdata auto-detecting your HDFS/Zookeeper servers, or want to help improve how Netdata +collects or presents metrics from these services, feel free to [file an +issue](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/new?labels=bug%2C+needs+triage&template=bug_report.md). + +- Read up on the [HDFS configuration + file](https://github.com/netdata/go.d.plugin/blob/master/config/go.d/hdfs.conf) to understand how to configure + global options or per-job options, such as username/password, TLS certificates, timeouts, and more. +- Read up on the [Zookeeper configuration + file](https://github.com/netdata/go.d.plugin/blob/master/config/go.d/zookeeper.conf) to understand how to configure + global options or per-job options, timeouts, TLS certificates, and more. + +[](<>) |
