Using HDFS monitoring UI

HDFS comes with a monitoring web console to verify the installation and monitor the HDFS cluster. It also lets users explore the content of the HDFS filesystem. In this recipe, we will look at how we can access the HDFS monitoring UI and verify the installation.

Getting ready

Start the HDFS cluster as described in the previous recipe.

How to do it...

Let us access the HDFS web console.

  1. Access the link http://MASTER_NODE:50070/ using your browser, and verify that you can see the HDFS startup page. Here, replace MASTER_NODE with the IP address of the master node running the HDFS NameNode.
  2. The following screenshot shows the current status of the HDFS installation including the number of nodes, total storage, storage taken by each node. It also allows users to browse the HDFS filesystem.
