Viewing the Health Status of FlinkServer Jobs

Job Health Status

When a large number of Flink jobs are running in a cluster, the FlinkServer web UI provides the Flink job health management function to help you evaluate the health status of each job. You can view the health status of the current job on the page and export the health information of all jobs with just one click.

• Healthy: The job is healthy and running properly.
• Subhealthy:
  • The "ALM-45637 Flink Task Is Continuously Under Back Pressure" alarm is generated. After the alarm is cleared based on the alarm information, the health status automatically recovers to Healthy.
  • The "ALM-45639 Checkpointing of a Flink Job Times Out" alarm is generated. After the alarm is cleared based on the alarm information, the health status automatically recovers to Healthy.
• Unhealthy:
  • The "ALM-45636 Flink Job Checkpoints Keep Failing" alarm is generated. After the alarm is cleared based on the alarm information, the health status automatically recovers to Healthy.
  • The "ALM-45638 Number of Restarts After Flink Job Failures Exceeds the Threshold" alarm is generated. After the alarm is cleared based on the alarm information and the job is restarted. The health status automatically recovers to Healthy.
