Hi @NishinThattil ,

Here's a rundown of the types of alerts you can create:

Cluster-Level Alerts:

  • Health: Monitor node availability, YARN, and HDFS. (Example: Alert if the master node goes down.)
  • Utilization: Track CPU, memory, and disk usage to avoid bottlenecks. (Example: Alert if CPU usage exceeds 80% for 30+ minutes.)
  • Events: Get notified about cluster creation, deletion, resizing, etc. (Example: Unexpected cluster deletion alert.)

Job-Level Alerts:

  • Status: Track job success, failure, or cancellation. (Example: Alert on critical ETL job failures.)
  • Duration: Monitor job runtimes to catch performance issues. (Example: Alert if a job takes longer than 2 hours.)
  • Resource Usage: Keep an eye on individual job resource consumption. (Example: Alert if a job uses more than 100GB memory.)

Batch and Session Alerts: (Similar to job-level, but focused on batch workloads or interactive sessions)

How to Create Alerts:

  • Google Cloud Monitoring: The built-in option, found in the Cloud Console's "Alerting" section. You can select Dataproc metrics, set conditions, and configure notifications.
  • Custom Solutions: For more flexibility, integrate with tools like Prometheus or use Cloud Functions for custom logic based on Dataproc logs/metrics.

Key Considerations:

  • Granularity: Choose the right level of alerting (cluster, job, etc.) based on your needs.
  • Thresholds: Set meaningful thresholds aligned with your performance goals.
  • Notifications: Make sure alerts reach the right people promptly.
  • Documentation: Keep clear records of your alert rules and response procedures.
