Pepperdata Supervisor Administrator’s Guide

This document describes how to perform common administrative tasks for your Pepperdata-enabled clusters.

• The Configuration procedures describe how to perform tasks commonly done during initial Pepperdata installation, but that you can perform anytime; for example, setting up a Pepperdata proxy, running Pepperdata as a non-root user, and verifying that data is being uploaded to the Pepperdata dashboard. This section also explains how to add Apache® Impala query metrics and how to verify and disable automatic swap detection. Procedures for disabling Pepperdata are also included.
