+<h1 id="scheduler-configuration">Scheduler Configuration</h1>
+
+<p>The Aurora scheduler can take a variety of configuration options through command-line arguments.
+Examples are available under <code>examples/scheduler/</code>. For a list of available Aurora flags and their
+documentation, see <a href="../../reference/scheduler-configuration/">Scheduler Configuration Reference</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="a-note-on-configuration">A Note on Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>Like Mesos, Aurora uses command-line flags for runtime configuration. As such the Aurora
+&ldquo;configuration file&rdquo; is typically a <code>scheduler.sh</code> shell script of the form.</p>

+</code></pre>
+
+<p>That way Aurora&rsquo;s current flags are visible in <code>ps</code> and in the <code>/vars</code> admin endpoint.</p>
+
+<h2 id="jvm-configuration">JVM Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>JVM settings are dependent on your environment and cluster size. They might require
+custom tuning. As a starting point, we recommend:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Ensure the initial (<code>-Xms</code>) and maximum (<code>-Xmx</code>) heap size are idential to prevent heap resizing
+at runtime.</li>
+<li>Either <code>-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC</code> or <code>-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication</code> are
+sane defaults for the garbage collector.</li>
+<li><code>-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true</code> makes sense in most cases as well.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="network-configuration">Network Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>By default, Aurora binds to all interfaces and auto-discovers its hostname. To reduce ambiguity
+it helps to hardcode them though:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-http_port=8081
+-ip=192.168.33.7
+-hostname="aurora1.us-east1.example.org"
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Two environment variables control the ip and port for the communication with the Mesos master
+and for the replicated log used by Aurora:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>export LIBPROCESS_PORT=8083
+export LIBPROCESS_IP=192.168.33.7
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>It is important that those can be reached from all Mesos master and Aurora scheduler instances.</p>
+
+<h2 id="replicated-log-configuration">Replicated Log Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>Aurora schedulers use ZooKeeper to discover log replicas and elect a leader. Only one scheduler is
+leader at a given time - the other schedulers follow log writes and prepare to take over as leader
+but do not communicate with the Mesos master. Either 3 or 5 schedulers are recommended in a
+production deployment depending on failure tolerance and they must have persistent storage.</p>
+
+<p>Below is a summary of scheduler storage configuration flags that either don&rsquo;t have default values
+or require attention before deploying in a production environment.</p>
+
+<h3 id="native_log_quorum_size"><code>-native_log_quorum_size</code></h3>
+
+<p>Defines the Mesos replicated log quorum size. In a cluster with <code>N</code> schedulers, the flag
+<code>-native_log_quorum_size</code> should be set to <code>floor(N/2) + 1</code>. So in a cluster with 1 scheduler
+it should be set to <code>1</code>, in a cluster with 3 it should be set to <code>2</code>, and in a cluster of 5 it
+should be set to <code>3</code>.</p>
+
+<table><thead>
+<tr>
+<th>Number of schedulers (N)</th>

+</tbody></table>
+
+<p><em>Incorrectly setting this flag will cause data corruption to occur!</em></p>
+
+<h3 id="native_log_file_path"><code>-native_log_file_path</code></h3>
+
+<p>Location of the Mesos replicated log files. For optimal and consistent performance, consider
+allocating a dedicated disk (preferably SSD) for the replicated log. Ensure that this disk is not
+used by anything else (e.g. no process logging) and in particular that it is a real disk
+and not just a partition.</p>
+
+<p>Even when a dedicated disk is used, switching from <code>CFQ</code> to <code>deadline</code> I/O scheduler of Linux kernel
+can furthermore help with storage performance in Aurora (<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1211">see this ticket for details</a>).</p>
+
+<h3 id="native_log_zk_group_path"><code>-native_log_zk_group_path</code></h3>
+
+<p>ZooKeeper path used for Mesos replicated log quorum discovery.</p>
+
+<p>See <a href="https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/rel/0.21.0/src/main/java/org/apache/aurora/scheduler/log/mesos/MesosLogStreamModule.java">code</a> for
+other available Mesos replicated log configuration options and default values.</p>
+
+<h3 id="changing-the-quorum-size">Changing the Quorum Size</h3>
+
+<p>Special care needs to be taken when changing the size of the Aurora scheduler quorum.
+Since Aurora uses a Mesos replicated log, similar steps need to be followed as when
+<a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/operational-guide">changing the Mesos quorum size</a>.</p>
+
+<p>As a preparation, increase <code>-native_log_quorum_size</code> on each existing scheduler and restart them.
+When updating from 3 to 5 schedulers, the quorum size would grow from 2 to 3.</p>
+
+<p>When starting the new schedulers, use the <code>-native_log_quorum_size</code> set to the new value. Failing to
+first increase the quorum size on running schedulers can in some cases result in corruption
+or truncating of the replicated log used by Aurora. In that case, see the documentation on
+<a href="../backup-restore/">recovering from backup</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="backup-configuration">Backup Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>Configuration options for the Aurora scheduler backup manager.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>-backup_interval</code>: The interval on which the scheduler writes local storage backups.
+The default is every hour.</li>
+<li><code>-backup_dir</code>: Directory to write backups to. As stated above, this should not be co-located on the
+same disk as the replicated log.</li>
+<li><code>-max_saved_backups</code>: Maximum number of backups to retain before deleting the oldest backup(s).</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="resource-isolation">Resource Isolation</h2>
+
+<p>For proper CPU, memory, and disk isolation as mentioned in our <a href="../../features/resource-isolation/">enduser documentation</a>,
+we recommend to add the following isolators to the <code>--isolation</code> flag of the Mesos agent:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>cgroups/cpu</code></li>
+<li><code>cgroups/mem</code></li>
+<li><code>disk/du</code></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In addition, we recommend to set the following <a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/configuration/">agent flags</a>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>--cgroups_limit_swap</code> to enable memory limits on both memory and swap instead of just memory.
+Alternatively, you could disable swap on your agent hosts.</li>
+<li><code>--cgroups_enable_cfs</code> to enable hard limits on CPU resources via the CFS bandwidth limiting
+feature.</li>
+<li><code>--enforce_container_disk_quota</code> to enable disk quota enforcement for containers.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To enable the optional GPU support in Mesos, please see the GPU related flags in the
+<a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/configuration/">Mesos configuration</a>.
+To enable the corresponding feature in Aurora, you have to start the scheduler with the
+flag</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-allow_gpu_resource=true
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>If you want to use revocable resources, first follow the
+<a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/oversubscription/">Mesos oversubscription documentation</a>
+and then set set this Aurora scheduler flag to allow receiving revocable Mesos offers:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-receive_revocable_resources=true
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Both CPUs and RAM are supported as revocable resources. The former is enabled by the default,
+the latter needs to be enabled via:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-enable_revocable_ram=true
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Unless you want to use the <a href="https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/rel/0.21.0/src/main/resources/org/apache/aurora/scheduler/tiers.json">default</a>
+tier configuration, you will also have to specify a file path:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-tier_config=path/to/tiers/config.json
+</code></pre>
+
+<h2 id="multi-framework-setup">Multi-Framework Setup</h2>
+
+<p>Aurora holds onto Mesos offers in order to provide efficient scheduling and
+<a href="../../features/multitenancy/#preemption">preemption</a>. This is problematic in multi-framework
+environments as Aurora might starve other frameworks.</p>
+
+<p>With a downside of increased scheduling latency, Aurora can be configured to be more cooperative:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Lowering <code>-min_offer_hold_time</code> (e.g. to <code>1mins</code>) can ensure unused offers are returned back to
+Mesos more frequently.</li>
+<li>Increasing <code>-offer_filter_duration</code> (e.g to <code>30secs</code>) will instruct Mesos
+not to re-offer rejected resources for the given duration.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Setting a <a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/quota/">minimum amount of resources</a> for
+each Mesos role can furthermore help to ensure no framework is starved entirely.</p>
+
+<h2 id="containers">Containers</h2>
+
+<p>Both the Mesos and Docker containerizers require configuration of the Mesos agent.</p>
+
+<h3 id="mesos-containerizer">Mesos Containerizer</h3>
+
+<p>The minimal agent configuration requires to enable Docker and Appc image support for the Mesos
+containerizer:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>--containerizers=mesos
+--image_providers=appc,docker
+--isolation=filesystem/linux,docker/runtime  # as an addition to your other isolators
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Further details can be found in the corresponding <a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/container-image/">Mesos documentation</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="docker-containerizer">Docker Containerizer</h3>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/docker-containerizer/">Docker containerizer</a>
+requires the Docker engine is installed on each agent host. In addition, it  must be enabled on the
+Mesos agents by launching them with the option:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>--containerizers=mesos,docker
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>If you would like to run a container with a read-only filesystem, it may also be necessary to use
+the scheduler flag <code>-thermos_home_in_sandbox</code> in order to set HOME to the sandbox
+before the executor runs. This will make sure that the executor/runner PEX extractions happens
+inside of the sandbox instead of the container filesystem root.</p>
+
+<p>If you would like to supply your own parameters to <code>docker run</code> when launching jobs in docker
+containers, you may use the following flags:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-allow_docker_parameters
+-default_docker_parameters
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><code>-allow_docker_parameters</code> controls whether or not users may pass their own configuration parameters
+through the job configuration files. If set to <code>false</code> (the default), the scheduler will reject
+jobs with custom parameters. <em>NOTE</em>: this setting should be used with caution as it allows any job
+owner to specify any parameters they wish, including those that may introduce security concerns
+(<code>privileged=true</code>, for example).</p>
+
+<p><code>-default_docker_parameters</code> allows a cluster operator to specify a universal set of parameters that
+should be used for every container that does not have parameters explicitly configured at the job
+level. The argument accepts a multimap format:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-default_docker_parameters="read-only=true,tmpfs=/tmp,tmpfs=/run"
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="common-options">Common Options</h3>
+
+<p>The following Aurora options work for both containerizers.</p>
+
+<p>A scheduler flag, <code>-global_container_mounts</code> allows mounting paths from the host (i.e the agent machine)
+into all containers on that host. The format is a comma separated list of host<em>path:container</em>path[:mode]
+tuples. For example <code>-global_container_mounts=/opt/secret_keys_dir:/mnt/secret_keys_dir:ro</code> mounts
+<code>/opt/secret_keys_dir</code> from the agents into all launched containers. Valid modes are <code>ro</code> and <code>rw</code>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="thermos-process-logs">Thermos Process Logs</h2>
+
+<h3 id="log-destination">Log destination</h3>
+
+<p>By default, Thermos will write process stdout/stderr to log files in the sandbox. Process object
+configuration allows specifying alternate log file destinations like streamed stdout/stderr or
+suppression of all log output. Default behavior can be configured for the entire cluster with the
+following flag (through the <code>-thermos_executor_flags</code> argument to the Aurora scheduler):</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>--runner-logger-destination=both
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><code>both</code> configuration will send logs to files and stream to parent stdout/stderr outputs.</p>
+
+<p>See <a href="../../reference/configuration/#logger">Configuration Reference</a> for all destination options.</p>
+
+<h3 id="log-rotation">Log rotation</h3>
+
+<p>By default, Thermos will not rotate the stdout/stderr logs from child processes and they will grow
+without bound. An individual user may change this behavior via configuration on the Process object,
+but it may also be desirable to change the default configuration for the entire cluster.
+In order to enable rotation by default, the following flags can be applied to Thermos (through the
+<code>-thermos_executor_flags</code> argument to the Aurora scheduler):</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>--runner-logger-mode=rotate
+--runner-rotate-log-size-mb=100
+--runner-rotate-log-backups=10
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>In the above example, each instance of the Thermos runner will rotate stderr/stdout logs once they
+reach 100 MiB in size and keep a maximum of 10 backups. If a user has provided a custom setting for
+their process, it will override these default settings.</p>
+
+<h2 id="thermos-executor-wrapper">Thermos Executor Wrapper</h2>
+
+<p>If you need to do computation before starting the Thermos executor (for example, setting a different
+<code>--announcer-hostname</code> parameter for every executor), then the Thermos executor should be invoked
+inside a wrapper script. In such a case, the aurora scheduler should be started with
+<code>-thermos_executor_path</code> pointing to the wrapper script and <code>-thermos_executor_resources</code> set to a
+comma separated string of all the resources that should be copied into the sandbox (including the
+original Thermos executor). Ensure the wrapper script does not access resources outside of the
+sandbox, as when the script is run from within a Docker container those resources may not exist.</p>
+
+<p>For example, to wrap the executor inside a simple wrapper, the scheduler will be started like this
+<code>-thermos_executor_path=/path/to/wrapper.sh -thermos_executor_resources=/usr/share/aurora/bin/thermos_executor.pex</code></p>
+
+<h2 id="custom-executors">Custom Executors</h2>
+
+<p>The scheduler can be configured to utilize a custom executor by specifying the <code>-custom_executor_config</code> flag.
+The flag must be set to the path of a valid executor configuration file.</p>
+
+<p>For more information on this feature please see the custom executors <a href="../../features/custom-executors/">documentation</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="a-note-on-increasing-executor-overhead">A note on increasing executor overhead</h2>
+
+<p>Increasing executor overhead on an existing cluster, whether it be for custom executors or for Thermos,
+will result in degraded preemption performance until all task which began life with the previous
+executor configuration with less overhead are preempted/restarted.</p>
+
+<h2 id="controlling-mtta-via-update-affinity">Controlling MTTA via Update Affinity</h2>
+
+<p>When there is high resource contention in your cluster you may experience noticably elevated job update
+times, as well as high task churn across the cluster. This is due to Aurora&rsquo;s first-fit scheduling
+algorithm. To alleviate this, you can enable update affinity where the Scheduler will make a best-effort
+attempt to reuse the same agent for the updated task (so long as the resources for the job are not being
+increased).</p>
+
+<p>To enable this in the Scheduler, you can set the following options:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-enable_update_affinity=true
+-update_affinity_reservation_hold_time=3mins
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>You will need to tune the hold time to match the behavior you see in your cluster. If you have extremely
+high update throughput, you might have to extend it as processing updates could easily add significant
+delays between scheduling attempts. You may also have to tune scheduling parameters to achieve the
+throughput you need in your cluster. Some relevant settings (with defaults) are:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-max_schedule_attempts_per_sec=40
+-initial_schedule_penalty=1secs
+-max_schedule_penalty=1mins
+-scheduling_max_batch_size=3
+-max_tasks_per_schedule_attempt=5
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>There are metrics exposed by the Scheduler which can provide guidance on where the bottleneck is.
+Example metrics to look at:</p>

+
+<h2 id="cluster-maintenance">Cluster Maintenance</h2>
+
+<p>Aurora performs maintenance related task drains. One of the scheduler options that can control
+how often the scheduler polls for maintenance work can be controlled via,</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-host_maintenance_polling_interval=1min
+</code></pre>
+
+<h2 id="enforcing-sla-limitations">Enforcing SLA limitations</h2>
+
+<p>Since tasks can specify their own <code>SLAPolicy</code>, the cluster needs to limit these SLA requirements.
+Too aggressive a requirement can permanently block any type of maintenance work
+(ex: OS/Kernel/Security upgrades) on a host and hold it hostage.</p>
+
+<p>An operator can control the limits for SLA requirements via these scheduler configuration options:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-max_sla_duration_secs=2hrs
+-min_required_instances_for_sla_check=20
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><em>Note: These limits only apply for <code>CountSlaPolicy</code> and <code>PercentageSlaPolicy</code>.</em></p>
+
+<h3 id="limiting-coordinator-sla">Limiting Coordinator SLA</h3>
+
+<p>With <code>CoordinatorSlaPolicy</code> the SLA calculation is off-loaded to an external HTTP service. Some
+relevant scheduler configuration options are,</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-sla_coordinator_timeout=1min
+-max_parallel_coordinated_maintenance=10
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Since handing off the SLA calculation to an external service can potentially block maintenance
+on hosts for an indefinite amount of time (either due to a mis-configured coordinator or due to
+a valid degraded service). In those situations the following metrics will be helpful to identify the
+offending tasks.</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>sla_coordinator_user_errors_*     (counter tracking number of times the coordinator for the task
+                                   returned a bad response.)
+sla_coordinator_errors_*          (counter tracking number of times the scheduler was not able
+                                   to communicate with the coordinator of the task.)
+sla_coordinator_lock_starvation_* (counter tracking number of times the scheduler was not able to
+                                   get the lock for the coordinator of the task.)

+
+<h2 id="machine-profiles">Machine profiles</h2>
+
+<p>Given that many of these components communicate over the network, there are numerous ways you could
+assemble them to create an Aurora cluster.  The simplest way is to think in terms of three machine
+profiles:</p>
+
+<h3 id="coordinator">Coordinator</h3>
+
+<p><strong>Components</strong>: ZooKeeper, Aurora scheduler, Mesos master</p>
+
+<p>A small number of machines (typically 3 or 5) responsible for cluster orchestration.  In most cases
+it is fine to co-locate these components in anything but very large clusters (&gt; 1000 machines).
+Beyond that point, operators will likely want to manage these services on separate machines.
+In particular, you will want to use separate ZooKeeper ensembles for leader election and
+service discovery. Otherwise a service discovery error or outage can take down the entire cluster.</p>
+
+<p>In practice, 5 coordinators have been shown to reliably manage clusters with tens of thousands of
+machines.</p>
+
+<h3 id="worker">Worker</h3>
+
+<p><strong>Components</strong>: Aurora executor, Aurora observer, Mesos agent</p>
+
+<p>The bulk of the cluster, where services will actually run.</p>
+
+<h3 id="client">Client</h3>
+
+<p><strong>Components</strong>: Aurora client, Aurora admin client</p>
+
+<p>Any machines that users submit jobs from.</p>

+<h3 id="finalizing">Finalizing</h3>
+
+<p>By default, the scheduler will start in an uninitialized mode.  This is because external
+coordination is necessary to be certain operator error does not result in a quorum of schedulers
+starting up and believing their databases are empty when in fact they should be re-joining a
+cluster.</p>
+
+<p>Because of this, a fresh install of the scheduler will need intervention to start up.  First,
+stop the scheduler service.
+Ubuntu: <code>sudo stop aurora-scheduler</code>
+CentOS: <code>sudo systemctl stop aurora</code></p>
+
+<p>Now initialize the database:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>sudo -u aurora mkdir -p /var/lib/aurora/scheduler/db
+sudo -u aurora mesos-log initialize --path=/var/lib/aurora/scheduler/db
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Now you can start the scheduler back up.

+
+<p>The executor typically does not require configuration.  Command line arguments can
+be passed to the executor using a command line argument on the scheduler.</p>
+
+<p>The observer needs to be configured to look at the correct mesos directory in order to find task
+sandboxes. You should 1st find the Mesos working directory by looking for the Mesos agent
+<code>--work_dir</code> flag. You should see something like:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>    ps -eocmd | grep "mesos-slave" | grep -v grep | tr ' ' '\n' | grep "\--work_dir"
+    --work_dir=/var/lib/mesos
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>If the flag is not set, you can view the default value like so:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>    mesos-slave --help
+    Usage: mesos-slave [options]
+
+      ...
+      --work_dir=VALUE      Directory path to place framework work directories
+                            (default: /tmp/mesos)
+      ...
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The value you find for <code>--work_dir</code>, <code>/var/lib/mesos</code> in this example, should match the Aurora
+observer value for <code>--mesos-root</code>.  You can look for that setting in a similar way on a worker
+node by grepping for <code>thermos_observer</code> and <code>--mesos-root</code>.  If the flag is not set, you can view
+the default value like so:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>    thermos_observer -h
+    Options:
+      ...
+      --mesos-root=MESOS_ROOT
+                            The mesos root directory to search for Thermos
+                            executor sandboxes [default: /var/lib/mesos]
+      ...
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>In this case the default is <code>/var/lib/mesos</code> and we have a match. If there is no match, you can
+either adjust the mesos-master start script(s) and restart the master(s) or else adjust the
+Aurora observer start scripts and restart the observers.  To adjust the Aurora observer:</p>
+
+<h4 id="ubuntu-trusty">Ubuntu Trusty</h4>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>sudo sh -c 'echo "MESOS_ROOT=/tmp/mesos" &gt;&gt; /etc/default/thermos'
+</code></pre>
+
+<h4 id="centos-7">CentOS 7</h4>
+
+<p>Make an edit to add the <code>--mesos-root</code> flag resulting in something like:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>grep -A5 OBSERVER_ARGS /etc/sysconfig/thermos
+OBSERVER_ARGS=(
+  --port=1338
+  --mesos-root=/tmp/mesos

+<h1 id="monitoring-your-aurora-cluster">Monitoring your Aurora cluster</h1>
+
+<p>Before you start running important services in your Aurora cluster, it&rsquo;s important to set up
+monitoring and alerting of Aurora itself.  Most of your monitoring can be against the scheduler,
+since it will give you a global view of what&rsquo;s going on.</p>
+
+<h2 id="reading-stats">Reading stats</h2>
+
+<p>The scheduler exposes a <em>lot</em> of instrumentation data via its HTTP interface. You can get a quick
+peek at the first few of these in our vagrant image:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>$ vagrant ssh -c 'curl -s localhost:8081/vars | head'
+async_tasks_completed 1004
+attribute_store_fetch_all_events 15
+attribute_store_fetch_all_events_per_sec 0.0
+attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_per_event 0.0
+attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_total 3048285
+attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_total_per_sec 0.0
+attribute_store_fetch_one_events 3391
+attribute_store_fetch_one_events_per_sec 0.0
+attribute_store_fetch_one_nanos_per_event 0.0
+attribute_store_fetch_one_nanos_total 454690753
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>These values are served as <code>Content-Type: text/plain</code>, with each line containing a space-separated metric
+name and value. Values may be integers, doubles, or strings (note: strings are static, others
+may be dynamic).</p>
+
+<p>If your monitoring infrastructure prefers JSON, the scheduler exports that as well:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>$ vagrant ssh -c 'curl -s localhost:8081/vars.json | python -mjson.tool | head'
+{
+    "async_tasks_completed": 1009,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_all_events": 15,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_all_events_per_sec": 0.0,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_per_event": 0.0,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_total": 3048285,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_all_nanos_total_per_sec": 0.0,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_one_events": 3409,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_one_events_per_sec": 0.0,
+    "attribute_store_fetch_one_nanos_per_event": 0.0,
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>This will be the same data as above, served with <code>Content-Type: application/json</code>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="viewing-live-stat-samples-on-the-scheduler">Viewing live stat samples on the scheduler</h2>
+
+<p>The scheduler uses the Twitter commons stats library, which keeps an internal time-series database
+of exported variables - nearly everything in <code>/vars</code> is available for instant graphing.  This is
+useful for debugging, but is not a replacement for an external monitoring system.</p>
+
+<p>You can view these graphs on a scheduler at <code>/graphview</code>.  It supports some composition and
+aggregation of values, which can be invaluable when triaging a problem.  For example, if you have
+the scheduler running in vagrant, check out these links:
+<a href="http://192.168.33.7:8081/graphview?query=jvm_uptime_secs">simple graph</a>
+<a href="http://192.168.33.7:8081/graphview?query=rate(scheduler_log_native_append_nanos_total)%2Frate(scheduler_log_native_append_events)%2F1e6">complex composition</a></p>
+
+<h3 id="counters-and-gauges">Counters and gauges</h3>
+
+<p>Among numeric stats, there are two fundamental types of stats exported: <em>counters</em> and <em>gauges</em>.
+Counters are guaranteed to be monotonically-increasing for the lifetime of a process, while gauges
+may decrease in value.  Aurora uses counters to represent things like the number of times an event
+has occurred, and gauges to capture things like the current length of a queue.  Counters are a
+natural fit for accurate composition into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_ratio">rate ratios</a>
+(useful for sample-resistant latency calculation), while gauges are not.</p>
+
+<h1 id="alerting">Alerting</h1>
+
+<h2 id="quickstart">Quickstart</h2>
+
+<p>If you are looking for just bare-minimum alerting to get something in place quickly, set up alerting
+on <code>framework_registered</code> and <code>task_store_LOST</code>. These will give you a decent picture of overall
+health.</p>
+
+<h2 id="a-note-on-thresholds">A note on thresholds</h2>
+
+<p>One of the most difficult things in monitoring is choosing alert thresholds. With many of these
+stats, there is no value we can offer as a threshold that will be guaranteed to work for you. It
+will depend on the size of your cluster, number of jobs, churn of tasks in the cluster, etc. We
+recommend you start with a strict value after viewing a small amount of collected data, and then
+adjust thresholds as you see fit. Feel free to ask us if you would like to validate that your alerts
+and thresholds make sense.</p>
+
+<h2 id="important-stats">Important stats</h2>
+
+<h3 id="jvm_uptime_secs"><code>jvm_uptime_secs</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: integer counter</p>
+
+<p>The number of seconds the JVM process has been running. Comes from
+<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/management/RuntimeMXBean.html#getUptime()">RuntimeMXBean#getUptime()</a></p>
+
+<p>Detecting resets (decreasing values) on this stat will tell you that the scheduler is failing to
+stay alive.</p>
+
+<p>Look at the scheduler logs to identify the reason the scheduler is exiting.</p>
+
+<h3 id="system_load_avg"><code>system_load_avg</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: double gauge</p>
+
+<p>The current load average of the system for the last minute. Comes from
+<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/management/OperatingSystemMXBean.html?is-external=true#getSystemLoadAverage()">OperatingSystemMXBean#getSystemLoadAverage()</a>.</p>
+
+<p>A high sustained value suggests that the scheduler machine may be over-utilized.</p>
+
+<p>Use standard unix tools like <code>top</code> and <code>ps</code> to track down the offending process(es).</p>
+
+<h3 id="process_cpu_cores_utilized"><code>process_cpu_cores_utilized</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: double gauge</p>
+
+<p>The current number of CPU cores in use by the JVM process. This should not exceed the number of
+logical CPU cores on the machine. Derived from
+<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jre/api/management/extension/com/sun/management/OperatingSystemMXBean.html">OperatingSystemMXBean#getProcessCpuTime()</a></p>
+
+<p>A high sustained value indicates that the scheduler is overworked. Due to current internal design
+limitations, if this value is sustained at <code>1</code>, there is a good chance the scheduler is under water.</p>
+
+<p>There are two main inputs that tend to drive this figure: task scheduling attempts and status
+updates from Mesos.  You may see activity in the scheduler logs to give an indication of where
+time is being spent.  Beyond that, it really takes good familiarity with the code to effectively
+triage this.  We suggest engaging with an Aurora developer.</p>
+
+<h3 id="task_store_lost"><code>task_store_LOST</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: integer gauge</p>
+
+<p>The number of tasks stored in the scheduler that are in the <code>LOST</code> state, and have been rescheduled.</p>
+
+<p>If this value is increasing at a high rate, it is a sign of trouble.</p>
+
+<p>There are many sources of <code>LOST</code> tasks in Mesos: the scheduler, master, agent, and executor can all
+trigger this.  The first step is to look in the scheduler logs for <code>LOST</code> to identify where the
+state changes are originating.</p>
+
+<h3 id="scheduler_resource_offers"><code>scheduler_resource_offers</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: integer counter</p>
+
+<p>The number of resource offers that the scheduler has received.</p>
+
+<p>For a healthy scheduler, this value must be increasing over time.</p>
+
+<p>Assuming the scheduler is up and otherwise healthy, you will want to check if the master thinks it
+is sending offers. You should also look at the master&rsquo;s web interface to see if it has a large
+number of outstanding offers that it is waiting to be returned.</p>
+
+<h3 id="framework_registered"><code>framework_registered</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: binary integer counter</p>
+
+<p>Will be <code>1</code> for the leading scheduler that is registered with the Mesos master, <code>0</code> for passive
+schedulers,</p>
+
+<p>A sustained period without a <code>1</code> (or where <code>sum() != 1</code>) warrants investigation.</p>
+
+<p>If there is no leading scheduler, look in the scheduler and master logs for why.  If there are
+multiple schedulers claiming leadership, this suggests a split brain and warrants filing a critical
+bug.</p>
+
+<h3 id="rate-scheduler_log_native_append_nanos_total-rate-scheduler_log_native_append_events"><code>rate(scheduler_log_native_append_nanos_total)/rate(scheduler_log_native_append_events)</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: rate ratio of integer counters</p>
+
+<p>This composes two counters to compute a windowed figure for the latency of replicated log writes.</p>
+
+<p>A hike in this value suggests disk bandwidth contention.</p>
+
+<p>Look in scheduler logs for any reported oddness with saving to the replicated log. Also use
+standard tools like <code>vmstat</code> and <code>iotop</code> to identify whether the disk has become slow or
+over-utilized. We suggest using a dedicated disk for the replicated log to mitigate this.</p>
+
+<h3 id="timed_out_tasks"><code>timed_out_tasks</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: integer counter</p>
+
+<p>Tracks the number of times the scheduler has given up while waiting
+(for <code>-transient_task_state_timeout</code>) to hear back about a task that is in a transient state
+(e.g. <code>ASSIGNED</code>, <code>KILLING</code>), and has moved to <code>LOST</code> before rescheduling.</p>
+
+<p>This value is currently known to increase occasionally when the scheduler fails over
+(<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-740">AURORA-740</a>). However, any large spike in this
+value warrants investigation.</p>
+
+<p>The scheduler will log when it times out a task. You should trace the task ID of the timed out
+task into the master, agent, and/or executors to determine where the message was dropped.</p>
+
+<h3 id="http_500_responses_events"><code>http_500_responses_events</code></h3>
+
+<p>Type: integer counter</p>
+
+<p>The total number of HTTP 500 status responses sent by the scheduler. Includes API and asset serving.</p>
+
+<p>An increase warrants investigation.</p>
+
+<p>Look in scheduler logs to identify why the scheduler returned a 500, there should be a stack trace.</p>

+<h1 id="authentication">Authentication</h1>
+
+<p>The scheduler must be configured with instructions for how to process authentication
+credentials at a minimum.  There are currently two built-in authentication schemes -
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication">HTTP Basic Authentication</a>, and
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO">SPNEGO</a> (Kerberos).</p>
+
+<h2 id="http-basic-authentication">HTTP Basic Authentication</h2>
+
+<p>Basic Authentication is a very quick way to add <em>some</em> security.  It is supported
+by all major browsers and HTTP client libraries with minimal work.  However,
+before relying on Basic Authentication you should be aware of the <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-4">security
+considerations</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="server-configuration">Server Configuration</h3>
+
+<p>At a minimum you need to set 4 command-line flags on the scheduler:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-http_authentication_mechanism=BASIC
+-shiro_realm_modules=INI_AUTHNZ
+-shiro_ini_path=path/to/security.ini
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>And create a security.ini file like so:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>[users]
+sally = apple, admin
+
+[roles]
+admin = *
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The details of the security.ini file are explained below. Note that this file contains plaintext,
+unhashed passwords.</p>
+
+<h3 id="client-configuration">Client Configuration</h3>
+
+<p>To configure the client for HTTP Basic authentication, add an entry to ~/.netrc with your credentials</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>% cat ~/.netrc
+# ...
+
+machine aurora.example.com
+login sally
+password apple
+
+# ...
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>No changes are required to <code>clusters.json</code>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="http-spnego-authentication-kerberos">HTTP SPNEGO Authentication (Kerberos)</h2>
+
+<h3 id="server-configuration">Server Configuration</h3>
+
+<p>At a minimum you need to set 6 command-line flags on the scheduler:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-http_authentication_mechanism=NEGOTIATE
+-shiro_realm_modules=KERBEROS5_AUTHN,INI_AUTHNZ
+-kerberos_server_principal=HTTP/aurora.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM
+-kerberos_server_keytab=path/to/aurora.example.com.keytab
+-shiro_ini_path=path/to/security.ini
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>And create a security.ini file like so:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>% cat path/to/security.ini
+[users]
+sally = _, admin
+
+[roles]
+admin = *
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>What&rsquo;s going on here? First, Aurora must be configured to request Kerberos credentials when presented with an
+unauthenticated request. This is achieved by setting</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-http_authentication_mechanism=NEGOTIATE
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Next, a Realm module must be configured to <strong>authenticate</strong> the current request using the Kerberos
+credentials that were requested. Aurora ships with a realm module that can do this</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-shiro_realm_modules=KERBEROS5_AUTHN[,...]
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The Kerberos5Realm requires a keytab file and a server principal name. The principal name will usually
+be in the form <code>HTTP/aurora.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM</code>.</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-kerberos_server_principal=HTTP/aurora.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM
+-kerberos_server_keytab=path/to/aurora.example.com.keytab
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The Kerberos5 realm module is authentication-only. For scheduler security to work you must also
+enable a realm module that provides an Authorizer implementation. For example, to do this using the
+IniShiroRealmModule:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-shiro_realm_modules=KERBEROS5_AUTHN,INI_AUTHNZ
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>You can then configure authorization using a security.ini file as described below
+(the password field is ignored). You must configure the realm module with the path to this file:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-shiro_ini_path=path/to/security.ini
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="client-configuration">Client Configuration</h3>
+
+<p>To use Kerberos on the client-side you must build Kerberos-enabled client binaries. Do this with</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>./pants binary src/main/python/apache/aurora/kerberos:kaurora
+./pants binary src/main/python/apache/aurora/kerberos:kaurora_admin
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>You must also configure each cluster where you&rsquo;ve enabled Kerberos on the scheduler
+to use Kerberos authentication. Do this by setting <code>auth_mechanism</code> to <code>KERBEROS</code>
+in <code>clusters.json</code>.</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>% cat ~/.aurora/clusters.json
+{
+    "devcluser": {
+        "auth_mechanism": "KERBEROS",
+        ...
+    },
+    ...
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<h1 id="authorization">Authorization</h1>
+
+<p>Given a means to authenticate the entity a client claims they are, we need to define what privileges they have.</p>
+
+<h2 id="using-an-ini-file-to-define-security-controls">Using an INI file to define security controls</h2>
+
+<p>The simplest security configuration for Aurora is an INI file on the scheduler.  For small
+clusters, or clusters where the users and access controls change relatively infrequently, this is
+likely the preferred approach.  However you may want to avoid this approach if access permissions
+are rapidly changing, or if your access control information already exists in another system.</p>
+
+<p>You can enable INI-based configuration with following scheduler command line arguments:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-http_authentication_mechanism=BASIC
+-shiro_ini_path=path/to/security.ini
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><em>note</em> As the argument name reveals, this is using Shiro’s
+<a href="http://shiro.apache.org/configuration.html#Configuration-INIConfiguration">IniRealm</a> behind
+the scenes.</p>
+
+<p>The INI file will contain two sections - users and roles.  Here’s an example for what might
+be in security.ini:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>[users]
+sally = apple, admin
+jim = 123456, accounting
+becky = letmein, webapp
+larry = 654321,accounting
+steve = password
+
+[roles]
+admin = *
+accounting = thrift.AuroraAdmin:setQuota
+webapp = thrift.AuroraSchedulerManager:*:webapp
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The users section defines user user credentials and the role(s) they are members of.  These lines
+are of the format <code>&lt;user&gt; = &lt;password&gt;[, &lt;role&gt;...]</code>.  As you probably noticed, the passwords are
+in plaintext and as a result read access to this file should be restricted.</p>
+
+<p>In this configuration, each user has different privileges for actions in the cluster because
+of the roles they are a part of:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>admin is granted all privileges</li>
+<li>accounting may adjust the amount of resource quota for any role</li>
+<li>webapp represents a collection of jobs that represents a service, and its members may create and modify any jobs owned by it</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="caveats">Caveats</h3>
+
+<p>You might find documentation on the Internet suggesting there are additional sections in <code>shiro.ini</code>,
+like <code>[main]</code> and <code>[urls]</code>. These are not supported by Aurora as it uses a different mechanism to configure
+those parts of Shiro. Think of Aurora&rsquo;s <code>security.ini</code> as a subset with only <code>[users]</code> and <code>[roles]</code> sections.</p>
+
+<h2 id="implementing-delegated-authorization">Implementing Delegated Authorization</h2>
+
+<p>It is possible to leverage Shiro&rsquo;s <code>runAs</code> feature by implementing a custom Servlet Filter that provides
+the capability and passing it&rsquo;s fully qualified class name to the command line argument
+<code>-shiro_after_auth_filter</code>. The filter is registered in the same filter chain as the Shiro auth filters
+and is placed after the Shiro auth filters in the filter chain. This ensures that the Filter is invoked
+after the Shiro filters have had a chance to authenticate the request.</p>
+
+<h1 id="implementing-a-custom-realm">Implementing a Custom Realm</h1>
+
+<p>Since Aurora’s security is backed by <a href="https://shiro.apache.org">Apache Shiro</a>, you can implement a
+custom <a href="http://shiro.apache.org/realm.html">Realm</a> to define organization-specific security behavior.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to using Shiro&rsquo;s standard APIs to implement a Realm you can link against Aurora to
+access the type-safe Permissions Aurora uses. See the Javadoc for <code>org.apache.aurora.scheduler.spi</code>
+for more information.</p>
+
+<h2 id="packaging-a-realm-module">Packaging a realm module</h2>

+
+<p>The Aurora scheduler does not provide native HTTPS support (<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-343">AURORA-343</a>).
+It is therefore recommended to deploy it behind an HTTPS capable reverse proxy such as nginx or Apache2.</p>
+
+<p>A simple setup is to launch both the reverse proxy and the Aurora scheduler on the same port, but
+bind the reverse proxy to the public IP of the host and the scheduler to localhost:</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-ip=127.0.0.1
+-http_port=8081
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>If your clients connect to the scheduler via <a href="../../reference/scheduler-configuration/"><code>proxy_url</code></a>,
+you can update it to <code>https</code>. If you use the ZooKeeper based discovery instead, the scheduler
+needs to be launched via</p>
+<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>-serverset_endpoint_name=https
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>in order to announce its HTTPS support within ZooKeeper.</p>
