Validate - Kinetica Docs

Validation

To validate that Kinetica has been installed and started properly, you can perform the following tests.

Curl Test

To ensure that Kinetica has started (you may have to wait a moment while the system initializes), you can run curl on the head node to check if the server is responding and port is available with respect to any running firewalls:

$ curl localhost:9191
Kinetica is running!

API Test

You can also run a test to ensure that the API is responding properly. There is an admin simulator project in Python provided with the Python API, which pulls statistics from the Kinetica instance. Running this on the head node, passing in the appropriate <username> & <password>, you should see:

$ /opt/gpudb/bin/gpudb_python /opt/gpudb/kitools/gadmin_sim.py -u <username> -p <password> --table --summary

GAdmin Status Test

The administrative interface itself can be used to validate that the system is functioning properly. Simply log into GAdmin. Browse to Dashboard to view the status of the overall system and Ranks to view the status breakdown by rank.

Ingest/Read Test

After verifying Kinetica has started and its components work, you should confirm ingesting and reading data works as expected.

Navigate to the Demo tab on the Cluster page.
Click Load Sample Data under the NYC Taxi section, then click Load to confirm.
Once the data is finished loading, click View Loaded Data. The data should be available in the nyctaxi table located in the demo schema.

If Reveal is enabled:

Navigate to:
http://<head-node-ip-address>:8088/
Log into Reveal and change the administration account’s default password.
Click NYC Taxi under Dashboards. The default NYC Taxi dashboard should load.
