AWS Elastic MapReduce metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to all metrics for Elastic Map Reduce, which provides petabyte-scale data processing, analytics, and machine learning using framework like Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto.

You can create a pre-built dashboard for this integration when you add the integration to Cloud Observability or from the Dashboard list view.

To verify metrics are reporting, search for the metrics in the Metric details section of the Settings page.

The following table shows the Elastic Map Reduce metrics ingested by Cloud Observability.

Metric Name Unit Description
aws.emr.is_idle boolean Indicates a cluster is accruing charges, but not performing work.
aws.emr.container_allocated count The number of resource containers allocated by the ResourceManager.
aws.emr.container_reserved count The number of reserved containers.
aws.emr.container_pending count The number of unallocated containers in the queue.
aws.emr.container_pending_ratio count The ratio of pending containers to allocated containers.
aws.emr.apps_completed count The number of applications YARN completed.
aws.emr.apps_failed count The number of applications submitted to YARN that failed to complete.

aws.emr.apps_pending count The number of applications submitted to YARN in a pending state.
aws.emr.apps_running count The number of applications submitted to YARN that are running.
aws.emr.apps_submitted count The total number of applications submitted to YARN.
aws.emr.core_nodes_running count The number of core nodes working.
aws.emr.core_nodes_pending count The number of core nodes waiting to be assigned.
aws.emr.live_data_nodes percent The percentage of data nodes that are receiving work from Hadoop.
aws.emr.mr_total_nodes count The number of nodes presently available to MapReduce jobs. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.TotalNodes.
aws.emr.mr_active_nodes count The number of nodes presently running MapReduce tasks or jobs. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.NoOfActiveNodes.
aws.emr.mr_lost_nodes count The number of nodes allocated to MapReduce that have been marked in a LOST state. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.NoOfLostNodes.
aws.emr.mr_unhealthy_nodes count The number of nodes available to MapReduce jobs marked in an UNHEALTHY state. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.NoOfUnhealthyNodes.
aws.emr.mr_decommissioned_nodes count The number of nodes allocated to MapReduce applications that have been marked in a DECOMMISSIONED state. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.NoOfDecommissionedNodes.
aws.emr.mr_rebooted_nodes count The number of nodes available to MapReduce that have been rebooted and marked in a REBOOTED state. Equivalent to YARN metric mapred.resourcemanager.NoOfRebootedNodes.
aws.emr.multi_master_instance_group_nodes_running count The number of running master nodes.
aws.emr.multi_master_instance_group_nodes_running_percentage percent The proportion of master nodes that are running over the requested master node instance count.
aws.emr.multi_master_instance_group_nodes_requested count The number of requested master nodes.
aws.emr.s_3_bytes_written count The number of bytes written to Amazon S3. This metric aggregates MapReduce jobs only, and does not apply for other workloads on Amazon EMR.
aws.emr.s_3_bytes_read count The number of bytes read from Amazon S3. This metric aggregates MapReduce jobs only, and does not apply for other workloads on Amazon EMR.
aws.emr.hdfs_utilization percent The proportion of HDFS storage currently used.
aws.emr.hdfs_bytes_read count The number of bytes read from HDFS. This metric aggregates MapReduce jobs only, and does not apply for other workloads on EMR.
aws.emr.hdfs_bytes_written count The number of bytes written to HDFS.
aws.emr.hdfs_utilization percent The percentage of HDFS storage currently used.
aws.emr.hdfs_bytes_read count The number of bytes read from HDFS.
aws.emr.hdfs_bytes_written count The number of bytes written to HDFS.
aws.emr.missing_blocks count The number of blocks in which HDFS has no replicas.
aws.emr.total_load count The total current number of readers and writers reported by all DataNodes in a cluster.
aws.emr.total_units_requested_total_nodes_requested_total_vcpu_requested count The target total number of units/nodes/vCPUs in a cluster as determined by managed scaling.
aws.emr.total_units_running_total_nodes_running_total_vcpu_running count The number of units/nodes/vCPUs available in a running cluster.
aws.emr.core_units_requested_core_nodes_requested_core_vcpu_requested count The target number of _core_ units/nodes/vCPUs in a cluster as determined by managed scaling.
aws.emr.core_units_running_core_nodes_running_core_vcpu_running count The current number of _core_ units/nodes/vCPUs running in a cluster.
aws.emr.task_units_requested_task_nodes_requested_task_vcpu_requested count The target number of _task_ units/nodes/vCPUs in a cluster as determined by managed scaling.
aws.emr.task_units_running_task_nodes_running_task_vcpu_running count The current number of _task_ units/nodes/vCPUs running in a cluster.
aws.emr.total_notebook_kernels count The total number of running and idle notebook kernels on the cluster.
aws.emr.auto_termination_is_cluster_idle count Indicates whether the cluster is in use. A 0 value indicates the cluster is actively used by YARN, HDFS, a notebook, or on-cluster UI (e.g. Spark History Server). A value of 1 means the cluster is idle.
