Manager Key Features

Key Feature: Unified Alarm Monitoring

Manager provides the visualized and convenient alarm monitoring function. Users can quickly obtain key cluster performance indicators, evaluate cluster health status, customize performance indicator display, and convert indicators to alarms. Manager can monitor the running status of all components and report alarms in real time when faults occur. The online help on the GUI allows you to view performance counters and alarm clearance methods to quickly rectify faults.

Key Feature: Unified User Permission Management

Manager provides permission management of components in a unified manner.

Manager introduces the concept of role and uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage system permissions. It centrally displays and manages scattered permission functions of each component in the system and organizes the permissions of each component in the form of permission sets (roles) to form a unified system permission concept. By doing so, common users cannot obtain internal permission management details, and permissions become easy for MRS cluster administrators to manage, greatly facilitating permission management and improving user experience.

Key Feature: SSO

Single sign-on (SSO) is provided between the Manager web UI and component web UI as well as for integration between MRS and third-party systems.

This function centrally manages and authenticates Manager users and component users. The entire system uses LDAP to manage users and uses Kerberos for authentication. A set of Kerberos and LDAP management mechanisms are used between the OMS and components. SSO (including single sign-on and single sign-out) is implemented through CAS. With SSO, users can easily switch tasks between the Manager web UI, component web UIs, and third-party systems, without switching to another user.

• To ensure security, the CAS Server can retain a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) used by a user only for 20 minutes.
• If a user does not perform any operation on the page (including on the Manager web UI and component web UIs) within 20 minutes, the page is automatically locked.

Key Feature: Automatic Health Check and Inspection

Manager provides users with automatic inspection on system running environments and helps users check and audit system running health by one click, ensuring correct system running and lowering system operation and maintenance costs. After viewing inspection results, you can export reports for archiving and fault analysis.

Key Feature: Tenant Management

Manager introduces the multi-tenant concept. The CPU, memory, and disk resources of a cluster can be integrated into a set. The set is called a tenant. A mode involving different tenants is called multi-tenant mode.

Manager provides the multi-tenant function, supports a level-based tenant model and allows tenants to be added and deleted dynamically, achieving resource isolation. As a result, it can dynamically manage and configure the computing resources and the storage resources of tenants.

• The computing resources indicate tenants' Yarn task queue resources. The task queue quota can be modified, and the task queue usage status and statistics can be viewed.
• The storage resources can be stored on HDFS. You can add and delete the HDFS storage directories of tenants, and set the quotas of file quantity and the storage space of the directories.

As a unified tenant management platform of MRS, MRS Manager allows users to create and manage tenants in clusters based on service requirements.

• Roles, computing resources, and storage resources are automatically created when tenants are created. By default, all permissions of the new computing resources and storage resources are allocated to a tenant's roles.
• After you have modified the tenant's computing or storage resources, permissions of the tenant's roles are automatically updated.

Manager also provides the multi-instance function so that users can use the HBase, Hive, or Spark alone in the resource control and service isolation scenario. The multi-instance function is disabled by default and can be manually enabled.

Key Feature: Multi-Language Support

Manager supports multiple languages and automatically selects Chinese or English based on the browser language preference. If the browser preferred language is Chinese, Manager displays the portal in Chinese; if the browser preferred language is not Chinese, Manager displays the portal in English. You can also switch between Chinese and English in the lower left corner of the page based on your language preference. (Only MRS 3.x and later versions support one-click switching between Chinese and English.)
