Launching profilers

In VM-based environments, you must first provision the Cloudera Data Hub to launch the profiler cluster to view the profiler results for your assets and datasets. In Compute Cluster enabled environments, after you set up the profiler, the Profiler Launcher Services automatically starts the profiler Kubernetes containers.

Profiler cluster in VM based environments

The Profiler Services supports enabling the High Availability (HA) feature.

There are two types of Profiler Services:

  • Profiler Manager
  • Profiler Scheduler

The Profiler Manager service consists of profiler administrators, metrics, and data discovery services. These three entities support HA. The HA feature supports Active-Active mode.

How to launch the profiler cluster for VM based environments

On the Search page, select the data lake from which you want to launch the profiler cluster. Click the Get Started link to proceed.

For setting up the profiler, you have the option to enable or disable the HA.

Once you enable HA and click Setup Profiler, Cloudera Data Catalog processes the request and the profiler creation is in progress.

Later, a confirmation message appears that the profiler cluster is created.

Next, you can verify the profiler cluster creation under Cloudera Management Console > Environments > Data Hubs pane.

The newly created profiler cluster looks like the following in Cloudera Management Console:
