Hive API Calls Test

The first step to ensuring an above-par experience for Apache Hive users is to be able to spot API call operation failures, well before the users notice them and complain! This is exactly what the Hive API Calls test helps administrators achieve! This test monitors the API calls to the database/tables/function/objects in Apache Hive data warehouse, and rapidly alerts administrators to poor API call operations.

Target of the test : Apache Hive

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Apache Hive

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The IP address of the target server that is being monitored.

Port

The port number through which the Apache Hive communicates. The default port is 10002.

SSL

By default, the SSL flag is set to False, indicating that the target Apache Hive is not SSL-enabled by default. To enable the test to connect to an SSL-enabled Apache Hive, set the SSL flag to True.

DD Frequency

Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time the test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD Frequency.
