What is the Cloudera StackPack?

The Cloudera StackPack is used to create a near real time synchronization with your Cloudera instance.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites need to be met:

• ​StackState Agent V2 must be installed on a single machine which can connect to Cloudera Manager and StackState.

• A Cloudera instance must be running.

NOTE:- We support Cloudera version 5.11.

Enable Cloudera integration

To enable the Cloudera check and begin collecting data from your Cloudera instance:

1. Edit the Agent integration configuration file /etc/stackstate-agent/conf.d/cloudera.d/conf.yaml to include details of your Cloudera instance:

   • url

   • username

   • password- use secrets management to store passwords outside of the configuration file.

     # Section used for global Cloudera check config
     init_config:
     ​
     instances:
     # mandatory
     - url: <url>
       # SSL verification
       verify_ssl: false    
     ​
       # Read-only credentials to connect to cloudera
       # mandatory
       username: <username> # Admin
       password: <password> # cloudera
     ​
       # Cloudera API version
       # mandatory
       api_version: <api_version> # v18

2. ​Restart the StackState Agent(s) to publish the configuration changes.

3. Once the Agent is restarted, wait for the Agent to collect the data and send it to StackState.
