Configure and test connection

After you have created a new cluster manually or by import, the Test results dialog box appears. Each component in the dialog box displays one of the following three icons:

• A green checkmark indicates that the connection to the cluster service was successful.
• A red "no symbol" indicates that the connection failed. Check your connection information. If you suspect a different issue, see the troubleshooting section in the Install Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics document or consult your cluster administrator.
• A yellow warning symbol indicates that the cluster service information was not supplied, so the test for that component was skipped.

Perform the following steps to test a connection:

1. In the View tab tree, right-click the cluster you want to test and click Test cluster.
2. Test results appear in the Test results window.

   Note: You can click the drop-down arrow in the Hadoop file system test for more details on the file system test.

   If you have errors, see the troubleshooting section in the Install Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics document to resolve the issues or consult your cluster administrator, then test again. When no error messages are returned, the connection is properly configured.
