Apache Airflow AirflowWebserverDown

The Airflow Webserver is not running or is unreachable.

Understanding Apache Airflow

Apache Airflow is an open-source platform designed to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows. It is a powerful tool for managing complex data pipelines, ensuring that tasks are executed in the correct order and at the right time. Airflow's web-based interface allows users to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor progress, and troubleshoot issues when they arise.

Symptom: AirflowWebserverDown

The AirflowWebserverDown alert indicates that the Airflow Webserver is not running or is unreachable. This component is crucial as it provides the user interface for monitoring and managing workflows.

Details About the AirflowWebserverDown Alert

The Airflow Webserver is responsible for serving the user interface and API endpoints. When this alert is triggered, it means that the webserver process is either not running or cannot be accessed. This could be due to several reasons such as a crash, network issues, or misconfiguration.

Common Causes

  • The webserver process has crashed or was stopped.
  • Network issues preventing access to the webserver.
  • Configuration errors in the Airflow setup.

Steps to Fix the AirflowWebserverDown Alert

To resolve the AirflowWebserverDown alert, follow these steps:

1. Verify Webserver Logs

Check the webserver logs for any error messages or warnings that could indicate the cause of the issue. Logs are typically located in the logs/webserver directory of your Airflow installation.

tail -n 100 /path/to/airflow/logs/webserver/latest.log

2. Restart the Webserver

If the logs indicate a crash or if the webserver is not running, restart the service. Use the following command:

airflow webserver -D

This command will start the webserver in daemon mode.

3. Check Network Connectivity

Ensure that there are no network issues preventing access to the webserver. You can use tools like ping or curl to test connectivity:

ping your-airflow-webserver-hostnamecurl http://your-airflow-webserver-hostname:8080

4. Review Configuration

Ensure that the Airflow configuration file airflow.cfg is correctly set up. Pay special attention to the webserver section:

[webserver]
web_server_host = 0.0.0.0
web_server_port = 8080

Additional Resources

For more detailed information, you can refer to the official Apache Airflow Documentation or the Airflow Community for support and discussions.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the AirflowWebserverDown alert effectively, ensuring that your workflows are back on track.
