Appendix F. Overriding Ceph Default Settings

Unless otherwise specified in the Ansible configuration files, Ceph uses its default settings.

Because Ansible manages the Ceph configuration file, edit the /usr/share/ceph-ansible/group_vars/all.yml file to change the Ceph configuration. Use the ceph_conf_overrides setting to override the default Ceph configuration.

Ansible supports the same sections as the Ceph configuration file; [global], [mon], [osd], [mds], [rgw], and so on. You can also override particular instances, such as a particular Ceph Object Gateway instance. For example:

CONFIG OVERRIDE #

###################
# CONFIG OVERRIDE #
###################

ceph_conf_overrides:
   client.rgw.rgw1:
      log_file: /var/log/ceph/ceph-rgw-rgw1.log
