Hi there Spark Community, I would like to ask you for an advice: I'm running Spark Streaming jobs in production. Sometimes these jobs fail and I would like to get email notification about it. Do you know how I can set up Spark to notify me by email if my job fails? Or do I have to use external monitoring tool? I'm thinking of the following options: 1. As I'm running those jobs on YARN, monitor somehow YARN jobs. Looked for it as well but couldn't find any YARN feature to do it. 2. Run Spark Streaming job in some scheduler, like Oozie, Azkaban, Luigi. Those are created rather for batch jobs, not streaming, but could work. Has anyone tried that? 3. Run job driver under "monit" tool and catch the failure and send an email about it. Currently I'm deploying with yarn-cluster mode and I would need to resign from it to run under monit.... 4. Implement monitoring tool (like Graphite, Ganglia, Prometheus) and use Spark metrics. And then implement alerting in those. Can I get information of failed jobs in Spark metrics? 5. As 4. but implement my own custom job metrics and monitor them.
What's your opinion about my options? How do you people solve this problem? Anything Spark specific? I'll be grateful for any advice in this subject. Thanks! Krzysiek
