This is a fork of rochaporto's version, which seems to have been abandoned around 2015, with plenty of bugs and pull requests lying around. I have tried to incorporate most of the outstanding pulls and some of the interesting looking but not overly conflicting forks.

If you have a clean pull request I will eventually try to merge in. I don't promise to fix issues but if anyone do I'll merge it.

I don't really want to maintain this but I don't want to let it lying bug-ridden, I want to use it.

A set of collectd plugins monitoring and publishing metrics for Ceph components.

Sample Ceph Overview dashboard displaying common metrics from the plugins.

Sample Ceph Pool Capacity dashboard, if you are using pool quota this sample may be usefull.

Check here for the Ceph Overview dashboard definition.

Check here for the Ceph Pool Capacity dashboard definition.

There are several plugins, usually mapping to the ceph command line tools.

Find below a list of the available plugins and the metrics they publish.

It assumes an existing installation of collectd - check docs for details.

If you want to publish to graphite, configure the write_graphite collectd plugin.

And you might want the awesome grafana too, which provides awesome displays.

The example configuration(s) below assume the plugins to be located under /usr/lib/collectd/plugins/ceph.

If you're under ubuntu, consider installing from this ppa.

Each plugin should have its own config file, under /etc/collectd/conf.d/<pluginname>.conf, which should follow something similar to:

# cat /etc/collectd/conf.d/ceph_pool.conf

<LoadPlugin "python">
    Globals true
</LoadPlugin>

<Plugin "python">
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/collectd/plugins/ceph"

    Import "ceph_pool_plugin"

    <Module "ceph_pool_plugin">
        Verbose "True"
        Cluster "ceph"
        Interval "60"
        TestPool "test"
    </Module>
</Plugin>

If you use puppet for configuration, then try this excelent collectd module.

It has plenty of docs on how to use it, but for our specific plugins:

  collectd::plugin::python { 'ceph_pool':
    modulepath => '/usr/lib/collectd/plugins/ceph',
    module     => 'ceph_pool_plugin',
    config     => {
      'Verbose'  => 'true',
      'Cluster'  => 'ceph',
      'Interval' => 60,
      'TestPool' => 'test',
    },
  }

Check this repo for a nice docker setup to run collectd-ceph (thanks to Ian Babrou).
