Monitoring Multiple Greenplum Database Clusters
The Greenplum Command Center Multi-cluster view displays health status for multiple Greenplum Database clusters. The charts can be divided into categories.
Each Greenplum Database cluster that appears in the Multi-cluster view must have its own Command Center instance. The Multi-cluster view is hosted on a single, designated master Command Center instance. The master instance retrieves the health status data from each of the clusters’ Command Center instances.
Clicking the status panel for a cluster loads that cluster’s Command Center into a new browser window. If auto-login is enabled in the multi-cluster configuration file, the login screen is bypassed and the Dashboard is displayed.
Multi-cluster support is enabled by deploying a configuration file to the Command Center instance directories. See Enabling Multi-Cluster Support for instructions to set up the Multi-Cluster page.
The Multi-cluster view displays the following information for each cluster.
- Normal: The database is functioning with no major errors or performance issues.
- Segment(s) Down: The database is in change-tracking mode or resync mode. Overall performance and system reliability is greatly reduced. See the Pivotal Greenplum Database System Administrator Guide for information about resolving this condition.
- Database Unreachable: The Greenplum Performance Monitor agent cannot connect to the database. The database is likely down. See the Pivotal Greenplum Database System Administrator Guide for troubleshooting information.
- Unbalanced: Some segments are not running in their preferred roles. That is, primaries are running as mirrors and mirrors are running as primaries, resulting in unbalanced processing.
- Resyncing: The database is performing a recoverty or rebalance operation.
