Inkscope is a Ceph admin and supervision interface. It relies on API provided by ceph. We also use mongoDB to store real time metrics and history metrics.

Manual installation is fully described in the inkScope wiki

All modules have been packaged: see inkScope packaging

The main folders are:

documentation contains diagram of inkScope architecture, datamodel...

inkscopeViz : GUI to visualize Ceph cluster status (dashboard), relations between Ceph cluster objects and to manage some elements of a ceph cluster like flags, pools, erasure code profiles, rados gateway users and buckets...

inkscopeCtrl : server part of inkscopeViz. It provides a REST API, orchestrating calls to ceph rest API's, Rados gateway administration API and command lines

inkscopeProbe : probes to collect information about the cluster (Ceph and system info)

inkscopeMonitor : for supervision of Ceph (to be developed)

Here is the dashboard screenshot and an object storage user management screenshot. Other screenshots can be found there

• Extend or replace Ceph Rest API request by command lines
• Improve S3/swift features : zones and regions management
• Improve probes operations

Other ideas:

• Simulation : impact calculation in case of crushmap update (storage capacity, bandwidth,..)
