‘Best Practice Analyser’ (BPA) test relating to DMA(s) Cassandra Database (in new V10.1.2 release)

Hi, with reference to the 'Best Practice Analyser' documentation that is available via; https://community.dataminer.services/documentation/cassandra-db-size/

  1. At DAZN, we have previously experienced issues with the Cassandra compaction process using all available DMA RAM, and as a result affecting the overall stability of a DMS. Are we reading the BPA test documentation correctly in that this particular BPA test checks available hard drive space rather than available RAM?
  2. The documentation mentions the 'Cassandra DB size' BPA running hourly, Are we correct in understanding that running BPA tests automatically (on a schedule) is a future feature?
  3. Generally, is it possible to abort a BPA test once started?

Hi Paul,

  1. Some of the checks are disk-size based. Others are RAM based (e.g. a "warning" result will be generated when "Largest SSTable for a table > 1/3 of the total installed RAM"
  2. The schedule can indeed not be configured through the UI yet. The BPA tests do automatically run according to their default schedule though. A future version of Cube will allow updating (or disabling) the schedule. For now, the only way to update the schedule is to run c:\Skyline DataMiner\Tools\StandAloneBpaExecutor\StandAloneBpaExecutor.exe directly on the DMA
  3. BPA tests cannot be aborted while running. They are intended to be short-running and having little impact. Is is possible to disable their schedule though (via StandAloneBpaExecutor -- setting to 0).
