The tool currently only supports event logs stored on S3 (no DBFS paths). The remote output storage is also expected to be S3.

  • Install Databricks CLI

    • Install the Databricks CLI version 0.200+. Follow the instructions on Install the CLI.

    • Set the configuration settings and credentials of the Databricks CLI:

    • Set up authentication by following these instructions

    • Verify that the access credentials are stored in the file ~/.databrickscfg on Unix, Linux, or macOS, or in another file defined by environment variable DATABRICKS_CONFIG_FILE.

    • If the configuration is not set to default values, then make sure to explicitly set some environment variables to be picked up by the tools cmd such as: DATABRICKS_CONFIG_FILE, DATABRICKS_HOST and DATABRICKS_TOKEN. See the description of the variables in environment variables docs.

  • Setup the environment to access S3

    • Install the AWS CLI version 2. Follow the instructions on aws-cli-getting-started

    • Set the configuration settings and credentials of the AWS CLI by creating credentials and config files as described in aws-cli-configure-files.

    • If the AWS CLI configuration is not set to the default values, then make sure to explicitly set some environment variables tp be picked up by the tools cmd such as: AWS_PROFILE, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, AWS_CONFIG_FILE, AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE. See the full list of variables in aws-cli-configure-envvars

    • Note that it is important to configure with the correct region for the bucket being used on S3. If region is not set, the AWS SDK will choose a default value that may not be valid. In addition, the tools CLI by inspects AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY emvironment variables if the credentials could not be pulled from the credential files.

    Note

    • make sure that you have SSH access to the cluster nodes; and

    • create a key pair using Amazon EC2 through the AWS CLI command aws ec2 create-key-pair as instructed in aws-cli-create-key-pairs.
