Chapter 1. Ceph RESTful API
As a storage administrator, you can use the Ceph RESTful API, or simply the Ceph API, provided by the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard to interact with the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. You can display information about the Ceph Monitors and OSDs, along with their respective configuration options. You can even create or edit Ceph pools.
The Ceph API uses the following standards:
- HTTP 1.1
- JSON
- MIME and HTTP Content Negotiation
- JWT
These standards are OpenAPI 3.0 compliant, regulating the API syntax, semantics, content encoding, versioning, authentication, and authorization.
Prerequisites
- A healthy running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
- Access to the node running the Ceph Manager.
1.1. Versioning for the Ceph API
A main goal for the Ceph RESTful API, is to provide a stable interface. To achieve a stable interface, the Ceph API is built on the following principles:
- A mandatory explicit default version for all endpoints to avoid implicit defaults.
Fine-grain change control per-endpoint.
The expected version from a specific endpoint is stated in the HTTP header.
Syntax
Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.vMAJOR.MINOR+json
Example
Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.v1.0+json
If the current Ceph API server is not able to address that specific version, a
415 - Unsupported Media Type
response will be returned.
Using semantic versioning.
- Major changes are backwards incompatible. Changes might result in non-additive changes to the request, and to the response formats for a specific endpoint.
- Minor changes are backwards and forwards compatible. Changes consist of additive changes to the request or response formats for a specific endpoint.
1.2. Authentication and authorization for the Ceph API
Access to the Ceph RESTful API goes through two checkpoints. The first is authenticating that the request is done on the behalf of a valid, and existing user. Secondly, is authorizing the previously authenticated user can do a specific action, such as creating, reading, updating, or deleting, on the target end point.
Before users start using the Ceph API, they need a valid JSON Web Token (JWT). The /api/auth
endpoint allows you to retrieve this token.
Example
[root@mon ~]# curl -X POST "https://example.com:8443/api/auth" \ -H "Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.v1.0+json" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"username": user1, "password": password1}'
This token must be used together with every API request by placing it within the Authorization
HTTP header.
Syntax
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" ...
Additional Resources
- See the Ceph user management chapter in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Administration Guide for more details.
1.3. Enabling and Securing the Ceph API module
The Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard module offers the RESTful API access to the storage cluster over an SSL-secured connection.
If disabling SSL, then user names and passwords are sent unencrypted to the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard.
Prerequisites
- Root-level access to a Ceph Monitor node.
-
Ensure that you have at least one
ceph-mgr
daemon active. -
If you use a firewall, ensure that TCP port
8443
, for SSL, and TCP port8080
, without SSL, are open on the node with the activeceph-mgr
daemon.
Procedure
Log into the Cephadm shell:
Example
root@host01 ~]# cephadm shell
Enable the RESTful plug-in:
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph mgr module enable dashboard
Configure an SSL certificate.
If your organization’s certificate authority (CA) provides a certificate, then set using the certificate files:
Syntax
ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate HOST_NAME -i CERT_FILE ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key HOST_NAME -i KEY_FILE
Example
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate -i dashboard.crt [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key -i dashboard.key
If you want to set unique node-based certificates, then add a HOST_NAME to the commands:
Example
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate host01 -i dashboard.crt [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key host01 -i dashboard.key
Alternatively, you can generate a self-signed certificate. However, using a self-signed certificate does not provide full security benefits of the HTTPS protocol:
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard create-self-signed-cert
WarningMost modern web browsers will complain about self-signed certificates, which require you to confirm before establishing a secure connection.
Create a user, set the password, and set the role:
Syntax
echo -n "PASSWORD" > PATH_TO_FILE/PASSWORD_FILE ceph dashboard ac-user-create USER_NAME -i PASSWORD_FILE ROLE
Example
[ceph: root@host01 /]# echo -n "p@ssw0rd" > /root/dash-password.txt [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard ac-user-create user1 -i /root/dash-password.txt administrator
This example creates a user named
user1
with theadministrator
role.Connect to the RESTful plug-in web page. Open a web browser and enter the following URL:
Syntax
https://HOST_NAME:8443
Example
https://host01:8443
If you used a self-signed certificate, confirm a security exception.
