📄️ Landing Zone Monitoring
Landing Zone Monitoring is a powerful feature in Tombolo that continuously watches specified directories on your HPCC cluster's landing zones for file activity. The monitoring system operates completely from outside the HPCC cluster - directly from Tombolo - and reaches out to specified directories every 30 minutes (this interval is configurable). It uses the HPCC File Spray services to access landing zone directories and analyze file activity based on your configured parameters. When anomalies are detected, the system automatically sends notifications to designated recipients, providing proactive issue detection before problems impact downstream processes.
📄️ Job Monitoring
Job monitoring in Tombolo allows you to track Work Units (WU) running on HPCC clusters. Tombolo checks the clusters every 30 minutes and monitors work units based on a specified name or name pattern. It can send notifications if a work unit enters an undesired state, deviates from the expected state, or violates punctuality rules, such as failing to start or complete within the expected time.
📄️ Directory Monitoring
Directory monitoring in Tombolo enables tracking of files within the HPCC cluster, covering both Logical Files and Landing Zone Files. For logical files, you can monitor attributes like size, type, compression status, deletion, and protection status. For landing zone files, you can track file movement, appearance, and sizes, ensuring efficient management and visibility of your data
📄️ Cluster Monitoring
Tombolo currently offers only one kind of monitoring for clusters, which is the ability to monitor if the engine(s) specified inside of the cluster exceed a usage percentage target.
📄️ Superfiles Monitoring
Superfiles are collections of files inside of an HPCC cluster, and can be thought of as similar to a folder inside of an operating system. Tombolo currently provides a few different monitoring paramters for these collections of files.
📄️ Cost Monitoring
Cost Monitoring is a powerful feature in Tombolo that continuously tracks compute resource costs across your HPCC clusters to ensure budget compliance and optimize resource utilization. The monitoring system operates completely from outside the HPCC cluster - directly from Tombolo - and analyzes daily cost data by connecting to cluster workunit information and calculating comprehensive cost breakdowns. It automatically aggregates costs across three key areas: compilation activities, file access operations, and execution processes, providing a complete picture of resource consumption per user and cluster. When configured cost thresholds are exceeded, the system automatically sends detailed notifications to designated recipients, providing proactive budget management and early warning of potential cost overruns before they impact organizational budgets.
