Alteryx Services
Batch Job Runner
This service monitors and tracks job execution on the backend running environment.
Data Service
The Data Service is deployed when the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform is able to read from and write to external datastores such as Hive.
Diagnostic Server
The Diagnostic Server performs user-triggered diagnostics tests on various components of the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform and the backing data platform to verify health.
Java UDF Service
The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform supports a Java-based UDF (user-defined function) service.
Machine Learning Service
This service is responsible for machine learning in the platform.
Proxy
The proxy service manages interactions between the Designer Cloud application and the client browser.
Spark Job Service
This service manages the processing of Spark jobs. Spark integration must be enabled in the platform.
Supervisord Server
This server governs operations of all of the components in the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform. The supervisord server starts and stops the other components in the system and (in production environments) restarts them if they crash.
VFS Service
This service runs the internal virtual file system, which brokers all calls to and from the file systems to which the platform is connected. This service is used when the Photon running environment is enabled.
Webapp
The WebApp service serves the front-end UI to users.
External Services
Status information in this section pertains to services that are external to the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform, including the backend data platform.
- Hadoop MapReduce
- HDFS
- PostgreSQL Server
Tools
Coming soon!
Metrics
Disk Usage
Storage usage and availability on the Alteryx node.
- For more information on available storage in the backend data platform, see External Services on this page.
Memory Usage
Memory usage and availability on the Alteryx node.
Batch Job Queue
Number of batch jobs queued for execution.
Diagnostics tab
Use the Diagnostics tab to run checks on the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform and its integration with data storage and job processing services.
- To execute any diagnostic test, click Run.
Kerberos
The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform can be configured to integrate with Kerberos for authentication to the Hadoop cluster. See Set up for a Kerberos-enabled Hadoop cluster.
- The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform must have access to a Kerberos keytab file. See the previous link for instructions on creating the file.
- If the Kerberos delegation token can be retrieved, then authentication is enabled.
Hadoop (General)
Click Run to acquire the Hadoop client configuration files from the Alteryx node.
HDFS
The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform can interface with HDFS for data storage in a Hadoop cluster. These tests verify the platform's ability to interact with HDFS, which provides data storage and diagnostic information on the overall cluster.
Self-Checks
Use these tests to verify aspects of the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform.
- For more information on your software license, see License Key.
- You can test for the presence of the JAR file for the distribution of the data processing platform in use.
- The configuration files are stored in the following directory:
/opt/trifacta/conf- For more information on these files, see Required Platform Configuration.
System Environment
These tests provide environment information for the node hosting the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform. You may be asked to provide this information. See Contact Support.
