Searching for Time-Series Data

You can search for a time series in the Cloudera Manager Admin Console in two ways: by selecting from a list of metrics or by constructing a tsquery statement in the Search text box.

Search Method Procedure
List of Metrics
  1. Click the List of Metrics link to display a list of metrics organized in categories.
  2. Type a name or description of the metric in the Filter by Metric... text box. As you type, only the list of categories containing metrics that match the letters will display.
  3. Click a category to display the metrics related to that category. Note that some metrics will appear in multiple categories as they may apply to more than one entity or activity (for example, the Alerts metric applies to a large number of categories).
  4. Click the metric that you want to chart. The corresponding tsquery statement will appear in the text box and the chart(s) that display that time series will display.
tsquery Statement
  1. Press Spacebar in the Search text box. tsquery statement components display in a drop-down list. These suggestions are part of typeahead, which helps build valid queries. Scroll to the desired component and click Enter. Continue choosing query components by pressing Spacebar and Enter until the tsquery statement is complete.
  2. Click the Search button.

For example, the query SELECT jvm_heap_used_mb where clusterId = 1 could return a set of charts like the following:
