Bluemix Apache Spark Metrics

1
votes

I have been looking for a way to monitor performance in Spark on Bluemix. I know in the Apache Spark project, they provide a metrics service based on the Coda Hale Metrics Library. This allows users to report Spark metrics to a variety of sinks including HTTP, JMX, and CSV files. Details here: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/monitoring.html

Does anyone know of any way to do this in the Bluemix Spark service? Ideally, I would like to save the metrics to a csv file in Object Storage.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks

Saul

Currently, I do not see an option for usage of "Coda Hale Metrics Library" and reporting the job history or accessing the information via REST API.

However, on the main page of the Spark history server, you can see the Event log directory. It refers to your following user directory: file:/gpfs/fs01/user/USER_ID/events/

There I saw JSON (like) formatted files.
