GET /hosts/{hostId}/metrics

This method has been deprecated. This endpoint is not supported as of v6. Use the timeseries API instead. To get all metrics for a host with the timeseries API use the query:

'select * where hostId = $HOST_ID'.

To get specific metrics for a host use a comma-separated list of the metric names as follows:

'select $METRIC_NAME1, $METRIC_NAME2 where hostId = $HOST_ID'.

For more information see the tsquery language documentation.

Fetch metric readings for a host.

By default, this call will look up all metrics available for the host. If only specific metrics are desired, use the metrics parameter.

By default, the returned results correspond to a 5 minute window based on the provided end time (which defaults to the current server time). The from and to parameters can be used to control the window being queried. A maximum window of 3 hours is enforced.

When requesting a "full" view, aside from the extended properties of the returned metric data, the collection will also contain information about all metrics available for the role, even if no readings are available in the requested window.

Host metrics also include per-network interface and per-storage device metrics. Since collecting this data incurs in more overhead, query parameters can be used to choose which network interfaces and storage devices to query, or to these metrics altogether.

Storage metrics are collected at different levels; for example, per-disk and per-partition metrics are available. The "storageIds" parameter can be used to filter specific storage IDs.

In the returned data, the network interfaces and storage IDs can be identified by looking at the "context" property of the metric objects.

Request Parameters
name type description default
hostId path The host's ID. n/a
from query Start of the period to query. n/a
ifs query Network interfaces to query for metrics (default = all). n/a
metrics query Filter for which metrics to query. n/a
queryNw query Whether to query for network interface metrics. true
queryStorage query Whether to query for storage metrics. true
storageIds query Storage context IDs to query for metrics (default = all). n/a
to query End of the period to query. now
view query The view of the data to materialize, either "summary" or "full". summary
Response Body
media type data type description
application/json ApiMetricList (JSON) List of readings from the monitors.

POST /hosts/{hostId}/commands/migrateRoles

Migrate roles to a different host.

This command applies only to HDFS NameNode, JournalNode, and Failover Controller roles. In order to migrate these roles:

  • HDFS High Availability must be enabled, using quorum-based storage.
  • HDFS must not be configured to use a federated nameservice.
Migrating a NameNode or JournalNode role requires cluster downtime. HDFS, along with all of its dependent services, will be stopped at the beginning of the migration process, and restarted at its conclusion.

If the active NameNode is selected for migration, a manual failover will be performed before the role is migrated. The role will remain in standby mode after the migration is complete.

When migrating a NameNode role, the co-located Failover Controller role must be migrated as well if automatic failover is enabled. The Failover Controller role name must be included in the list of role names to migrate specified in the arguments to this command (it will not be included implicitly). This command does not allow a Failover Controller role to be moved by itself, although it is possible to move a JournalNode independently.

Available since API v10.

Request Parameters
name type description default
hostId path The ID of the host on which the roles to migrate currently reside n/a
Request Body
media type data type description
application/json ApiMigrateRolesArguments (JSON) Arguments for the command.
Response Body
media type data type description
application/json ApiCommand (JSON) Information about the submitted command.
