Using Cloudera Manager - Cloudera Administration - page 188

Understanding the Administration menu
The Administration menu on the Cloudera Manager toolbar contains all the tools required
by an administrator to manage the Apache Hadoop cluster. The Administration menu has
the following items:
• Settings : This screen provides an interface to view and edit all the configuration
parameters for Cloudera Manager. The properties are divided into multiple groups.
The following is a brief description of each of the groups:
◦ Performance : This group contains the configuration parameters for
Cloudera Manager. By default, the only property defined here is the heart-
beat interval setting for agents to respond to the server.
◦ Advanced : This group contains a few properties, such as agent heartbeat
logging directory, command data storage directory, and so on. These prop-
erties are very rarely modified.
◦ Thresholds : This group contains properties with respect to the health
status check for the agents.
◦ Security : This group contains all the properties related to the security of
Cloudera Manager.
◦ Ports and Addresses : This group consists of properties related to the
Cloudera Manager services. For example, the hostname, HTTP port for the
administrator console, HTTPS port for the administrator console, and the
agents port to connect to the server. The following screenshot shows the
Ports and Addresses group from the Settings page:
◦ Other : This group consists of few basic properties to configure the look
and feel of the Cloudera Manager client.
