Overview

Metrics are statistical information exposed by Hadoop daemons, used for monitoring, performance tuning and debug. There are many metrics available by default and they are very useful for troubleshooting. This page shows the details of the available metrics.

Each section describes each context into which metrics are grouped.

The documentation of Metrics 2.0 framework is here.

StartupProgress

StartupProgress metrics shows the statistics of NameNode startup. Four metrics are exposed for each startup phase based on its name. The startup phases are LoadingFsImage, LoadingEdits, SavingCheckpoint, and SafeMode. Each metrics record contains Hostname tag as additional information along with metrics.

Name Description
ElapsedTime Total elapsed time in milliseconds
PercentComplete Current rate completed in NameNode startup progress  (The max value is not 100 but 1.0)
phaseCount Total number of steps completed in the phase
phaseElapsedTime Total elapsed time in the phase in milliseconds
phaseTotal Total number of steps in the phase
phasePercentComplete Current rate completed in the phase  (The max value is not 100 but 1.0)
