About Release 7.9.0
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 7.9.0, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
7.9.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
7.9.0 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
7.9.0 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 Managed 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 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.
  - Monitoring Using the Control System and the CLI
    Describes the Overview page in the Control System, which displays information about the cluster.
  - Using HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring (Spyglass Initiative)
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring (part of the Spyglass initiative) provides the ability to collect, store, and view metrics and logs for nodes, services, and jobs/applications.
    - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring Architecture
      HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring integrates with open-source components to collect, aggregate, store, and visualize metrics and logs.
    - Metric Collection
      Metrics are collected from each node in the cluster so that administrators can use the data to monitor the cluster. In general, the collectd service collects metrics every 10 seconds. The exception is volume metrics which are collected every 10 minutes.
    - Configure the OpenTSDB Service Heap Size
      By default, the OpenTSDB service is configured to use a default heap size of 6 gigabytes. The default heap size can be adjusted by modifying certain configuration files.
    - Metric Visualization
      Use dashboards to visualize metrics across multiple nodes and clusters.
    - Log Collection
      Fluentd collects log events from each node in the cluster and stores them in a centralized location so that administrators can search the logs when troubleshooting issues in the cluster. The process that fluentd uses to parse and send log events to Elasticsearch differs based on the formatting of log events in each log file.
    - Log Aggregation and Storage
      Fluentd uses a round-robin approach when writing logs to Elasticsearch nodes. If an Elasticsearch node in unavailable, Fluentd can fail over log storage to another Elasticsearch node.
    - Log Visualization
      Use dashboards to visualize the logs across multiple nodes and clusters.
    - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring Tips and Troubleshooting
      Lists the nuances of monitoring clusters.
    - Reconfiguring Data Fabric Monitoring
      Changes to an existing cluster, such as the addition of services, may require additional steps to enable the collection of metrics and logs.
      - Configure Monitoring for Additional Services
        When you add services to a cluster where Data Fabric Monitoring is already configured, you must restart collectd and Fluentd services to enable the collection of logs and metrics for the newly added services.
      - Update the Monitoring Storage Nodes
        You must reconfigure HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring when you add additional OpenTSDB or Elasticsearch nodes, or when you change the OpenTSDB or Elasticsearch node locations.
  - Configuring Data Fabric to Track User Behavior
    Describes how to configure Data Fabric to track user behavior.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use Data Fabric 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.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.
- IPv6 Support in Data Fabric
  Describes the IPv6 support feature for Data Fabric.
7.9.0 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.

Update the Monitoring Storage Nodes

You must reconfigure HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Monitoring when you add additional OpenTSDB or Elasticsearch nodes, or when you change the OpenTSDB or Elasticsearch node locations.

About this task

Procedure

Run configure.sh on each node in the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster with the -R, -ES, and -OT parameters. Optionally, you can include the -ESDB parameter.
```
/opt/mapr/server/configure.sh -R -ES <comma-separate list of Elasticsearch nodes> \
 -OT <comma-separate list of OpenTSDB nodes> [-ESDB <filepath>]
```
For the entire list of available configure.sh parameters, see configure.sh
If you encounter any errors after running configure.sh, see Troubleshoot Monitoring Installation Errors

If you updated the list of Elasticsearch nodes, restart the all the Fluentd, Elasticsearch, and Kibana services.

maprcli node services -name fluentd -nodes <space separated list of Fluentd nodes> -action restart

maprcli node services -name elasticsearch -nodes <space separated list of Elasticsearch nodes> -action restart

maprcli node services -name kibana -nodes <space separated list of Kibana nodes> -action restart

If you updated the list of OpenTSDB nodes, restart the collectd, OpenTSDB, and Grafana services.

maprcli node services -name opentsdb -nodes <space separated list of OpenTSDB nodes> -action restart

maprcli node services -name collectd -nodes <space separated list of collectd nodes> -action restart
