Enable RBD monitoring

Enable RBD monitoringΒΆ

Warning

This feature is available as technical preview starting from the MCP 2019.2.10 maintenance update and requires Ceph Nautilus. Use such configuration for testing and evaluation purposes only. Before using the feature, follow the steps described in Apply maintenance updates.

If required, you can enable RADOS Block Device (RBD) images monitoring introduced with Ceph Nautilus. Once done, you can view RBD metrics using the Ceph RBD Overview Grafana dashboard. For details, see Ceph dashboards.

To enable RBD monitoring:

  1. Open your Git project repository with the Reclass model on the cluster level.

  2. In classes/cluster/<cluster_name>/ceph/setup.yml add the rbd_stats flag for pools serving RBD images to enable serving RBD metrics:

    parameters:
      ceph:
        setup:
          pool:
            <pool_name>:
              pg_num: 8
              pgp_num: 8
              type: replicated
              application: rbd
              rbd_stats: True
    
  3. In classes/cluster/<cluster_name>/ceph/common.yml, set the rbd_monitoring_enabled parameter to True to enable the Ceph RBD Overview Grafana dashboard:

    ceph:
      common:
        public_network: 10.13.0.0/16
        cluster_network: 10.12.0.0/16
        rbd_monitoring_enabled: True
    
  4. Log in to the Salt Master node.

  5. Apply the changes:

    salt "*" saltutil.refresh_pillar
    salt "*" state.apply salt.minion.grains
    salt "*" saltutil.refresh_grains
    salt -C "I@ceph:mgr" state.apply 'ceph.mgr'
    salt -C 'I@grafana:client' state.apply 'grafana.client'
