Job management

Can I stop multiple expired jobs at a time using a method that is similar to pt-kill?

How do I delete an existing MaxCompute project?

You can delete a MaxCompute project by logging on to the MaxCompute console as an Alibaba Cloud account or a Resource Access Management (RAM) user with the Super_Administrator project role. For more information, see Delete a table or a MaxCompute project.

How do I view the disk space that is occupied by a MaxCompute project and the disk space that is occupied by each table in the project?

On the MaxCompute client, you can run the DESC <table_name>; command to view the storage space that a table occupies. MaxCompute does not currently provide a feature to view the total storage space of a project.

How do I view the operation history of a user in a project?

You can view user operation records using the audit log feature.

Find the user who deleted a MaxCompute project

  1. Log on to the ActionTrail console.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Events > Advanced Event Query, and select a region in the upper-left corner.

  3. If no trail is configured, click Create Trail. On the Quickly Create Trail page, enter the required information and click Confirm.

  4. On the Advanced Event Query page, filter events by Service Name, Region, and Event Name to identify the operator who deleted the project.

    • For Service Name, select MaxCompute.

    • For Event Name, select DeleteProject.

  5. For the filtered event, click View Details in the Actions column.

    In the Event Record section, check the userAgent value. For example, a value of "userAgent" : "maxcompute.console.alibabacloud.com" indicates that the project was manually deleted from the console.

How do I view the resource package information of my project?

You can use the MaxCompute list resources command to view information about the resource packages in a project.

How do I view the storage resource usage of my MaxCompute project?

You can use Resource Observation to view the storage resource usage of a project. This feature provides the following information:

  • CPU resources: displays the CPU utilization trend during a specified period for all projects in a specified quota group.

  • Memory resources: displays the memory usage trends during a specified period for all projects in a specified quota group.

You can view usage records to obtain detailed information about storage resource usage. For more information, see View billing details.

Can I stop multiple expired jobs at a time using a method that is similar to pt-kill?

Batch-aborting jobs is not supported. You can only run the kill instanceid command to abort jobs one by one.
