Chapter 6. Monitoring the cluster on the Ceph dashboard

As a storage administrator, you can use Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard to monitor specific aspects of the cluster based on types of hosts, services, data access methods, and more.

This section covers the following administrative tasks:

6.1. Monitoring hosts of the Ceph cluster on the dashboard

You can monitor the hosts of the cluster on the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard.

The following are the different tabs on the hosts page. Each tab contains a table with the relavent information. The tables are searchable and customizable by column and row.

To change the order of the columns, select the column name and drag to place within the table.

To select which columns are displaying, click the toggle columns button and select or clear column names.

Enter the number of rows to be displayed in the row selector field.

Devices
This tab has a table that details the device ID, state of the device health, life expectancy, device name, prediction creation date, and the daemons on the hosts.
Physical Disks
This tab has a table that details all disks attached to a selected host, as well as their type, size and others. It has details such as device path, type of device, available, vendor, model, size, and the OSDs deployed. To identify which disk is where on the physical device, select the device and click Identify. Select the duration of how long the LED should blink for to find the selected disk.
Daemons
This tab has a table that details all services that have been deployed on the selected host, which container they are running in, and their current status. The table has details such as daemon name, daemon version, status, when the daemon was last refreshed, CPU usage, memory usage (in MiB), and daemon events. Daemon actions can be run from this tab. For more details, see Daemon actions.
Performance Details
This tab has details such as OSDs deployed, CPU utilization, RAM usage, network load, network drop rate, and OSD disk performance statistics. View performance information through the embedded Grafana Dashboard.
Device health
For SMART-enabled devices, you can get the individual health status and SMART data only on the OSD deployed hosts.

Prerequisites

6.7. Monitoring HAProxy on the dashboard

The Ceph Object Gateway allows you to assign many instances of the object gateway to a single zone, so that you can scale out as load increases. Since each object gateway instance has its own IP address, you can use HAProxy to balance the load across Ceph Object Gateway servers.

You can monitor the following HAProxy metrics on the dashboard:

  • Total responses by HTTP code.
  • Total requests/responses.
  • Total number of connections.
  • Current total number of incoming / outgoing bytes.

You can also get the Grafana details by running the ceph dashboard get-grafana-api-url command.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Admin level access on the storage dashboard.
  • An existing Ceph Object Gateway service, without SSL. If you want SSL service, the certificate should be configured on the ingress service, not the Ceph Object Gateway service.
  • Ingress service deployed using the Ceph Orchestrator.
  • Monitoring stack components are created on the dashboard.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Grafana URL and select the RGW_Overview panel:

    Syntax

    https://DASHBOARD_URL:3000

    Example

    https://dashboard_url:3000

  2. Verify the HAProxy metrics on the Grafana URL.
  3. From the Ceph dashboard navigation, go to Object→Gateways.

  4. From the Overall Performance tab, verify the Ceph Object Gateway HAProxy metrics.

6.8. Viewing the CRUSH map of the Ceph cluster on the dashboard

You can view the The CRUSH map that contains a list of OSDs and related information on the Red Hat Ceph Storage dashboard. Together, the CRUSH map and CRUSH algorithm determine how and where data is stored. The dashboard allows you to view different aspects of the CRUSH map, including OSD hosts, OSD daemons, ID numbers, device class, and more.

The CRUSH map allows you to determine which host a specific OSD ID is running on. This is helpful if there is an issue with an OSD.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Dashboard is installed.
  • OSD daemons deployed on the storage cluster.

Procedure

  1. From the dashboard navigation, go to Cluster→CRUSH map.

  2. To view the details of the specific OSD, click it’s row.

  • For more information about the CRUSH map, see CRUSH admin overview in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Storage strategies guide.

6.9. Filtering logs of the Ceph cluster on the dashboard

You can view and filter logs of the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster on the dashboard based on several criteria. The criteria includes Priority, Keyword, Date, and Time range.

You can download the logs to the system or copy the logs to the clipboard as well for further analysis.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • The Dashboard is installed.
  • Log entries have been generated since the Ceph Monitor was last started.
Note

The Dashboard logging feature only displays the thirty latest high level events. The events are stored in memory by the Ceph Monitor. The entries disappear after restarting the Monitor. If you need to review detailed or older logs, refer to the file based logs.

Procedure

  1. From the dashboard navigation, go to Observability→Logs.

  2. From the Cluster Logs tab, view cluster logs.

    Figure 6.9. Cluster logs

    Cluster logs
    1. Use the Priority filter to filter by Debug, Info, Warning, Error, or All.
    2. Use the Keyword field to enter text to search by keyword.
    3. Use the Date picker to filter by a specific date.
    4. Use the Time range fields to enter a range, using the HH:MM - HH:MM format. Hours must be entered using numbers 0 to 23.
    5. To combine filters, set two or more filters.
  3. To save the logs, use the Download or Copy to Clipboard buttons.

  • See the Understanding Ceph Logs section in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

6.10. Viewing centralized logs of the Ceph cluster on the dashboard

Ceph Dashboard allows you to view logs from all the clients in a centralized space in the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster for efficient monitoring. This is achieved through using Loki, a log aggregation system designed to store and query logs, and Promtail, an agent that ships the contents of local logs to a private Grafana Loki instance.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Dashboard is installed.
  • Grafana is configured and logged into on the cluster.

Procedure

  1. From the dashboard navigation, go to Administration→Services.
  2. From Services, click Create.
  3. In the Create Service form, from the Type list, select loki. Fill in the remaining details, and click Create Service.

  4. Repeat the previous step to create the Promtail service. Select promtail from the Type list.

    The loki and promtail services are displayed in the Services table, after being created successfully.

    Note

    By default, Promtail service is deployed on all the running hosts.

  5. Enable logging to files.

    1. Go to Administration→Configuration.
    2. Select log_to_file and click Edit.

    3. In the Edit log_to_file form, set the global value to true.

      Figure 6.11. Configuring log files

      Configuring log files

    4. Click Update.

      The Updated config option log_to_file notification displays and you are returned to the Configuration table.

    5. Repeat these steps for mon_cluster_log_to_file, setting the global value to true.

      Note

      Both log_to_file and mon_cluster_log_to_file files need to be configured.

  6. View the centralized logs.

    1. Go to Observability→Logs and switch to the Daemon Logs tab. Use Log browser to select files and click Show logs to view the logs from that file.

      Note

      If you do not see the logs, you need to sign in to Grafana and reload the page.

6.11. Monitoring pools of the Ceph cluster on the dashboard

You can view the details, performance details, configuration, and overall performance of the pools in a cluster on the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard.

A pool plays a critical role in how the Ceph storage cluster distributes and stores data. If you have deployed a cluster without creating a pool, Ceph uses the default pools for storing data.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Dashboard is installed.
  • Pools are created

Procedure

  1. From the dashboard navigation, go to Cluster→Pools.
  2. View the Pools List tab, which gives the details of Data protection and the application for which the pool is enabled. Hover the mouse over Usage, Read bytes, and Write bytes for the required details.

  3. Expand the pool row for detailed information about a specific pool.
