5 Once you have a running cluster, you may use the ``ceph`` tool to monitor your
6 cluster. Monitoring a cluster typically involves checking OSD status, monitor
7 status, placement group status and metadata server status.
10 ======================
15 To run the ``ceph`` tool in interactive mode, type ``ceph`` at the command line
16 with no arguments. For example::
27 If you specified non-default locations for your configuration or keyring,
28 you may specify their locations::
30 ceph -c /path/to/conf -k /path/to/keyring health
32 Checking a Cluster's Status
33 ===========================
35 After you start your cluster, and before you start reading and/or
36 writing data, check your cluster's status first.
38 To check a cluster's status, execute the following::
46 In interactive mode, type ``status`` and press **Enter**. ::
50 Ceph will print the cluster status. For example, a tiny Ceph demonstration
51 cluster with one of each service may print the following:
56 id: 477e46f1-ae41-4e43-9c8f-72c918ab0a20
60 mon: 3 daemons, quorum a,b,c
62 mds: cephfs_a-1/1/1 up {0=a=up:active}, 2 up:standby
63 osd: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in
66 pools: 2 pools, 16 pgs
67 objects: 21 objects, 2.19K
68 usage: 546 GB used, 384 GB / 931 GB avail
72 .. topic:: How Ceph Calculates Data Usage
74 The ``usage`` value reflects the *actual* amount of raw storage used. The
75 ``xxx GB / xxx GB`` value means the amount available (the lesser number)
76 of the overall storage capacity of the cluster. The notional number reflects
77 the size of the stored data before it is replicated, cloned or snapshotted.
78 Therefore, the amount of data actually stored typically exceeds the notional
79 amount stored, because Ceph creates replicas of the data and may also use
80 storage capacity for cloning and snapshotting.
86 In addition to local logging by each daemon, Ceph clusters maintain
87 a *cluster log* that records high level events about the whole system.
88 This is logged to disk on monitor servers (as ``/var/log/ceph/ceph.log`` by
89 default), but can also be monitored via the command line.
91 To follow the cluster log, use the following command
97 Ceph will print the status of the system, followed by each log message as it
98 is emitted. For example:
103 id: 477e46f1-ae41-4e43-9c8f-72c918ab0a20
107 mon: 3 daemons, quorum a,b,c
109 mds: cephfs_a-1/1/1 up {0=a=up:active}, 2 up:standby
110 osd: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in
113 pools: 2 pools, 16 pgs
114 objects: 21 objects, 2.19K
115 usage: 546 GB used, 384 GB / 931 GB avail

124 In addition to using ``ceph -w`` to print log lines as they are emitted,
125 use ``ceph log last [n]`` to see the most recent ``n`` lines from the cluster
128 Monitoring Health Checks
129 ========================
131 Ceph continuously runs various *health checks* against its own status. When
132 a health check fails, this is reflected in the output of ``ceph status`` (or
133 ``ceph health``). In addition, messages are sent to the cluster log to
134 indicate when a check fails, and when the cluster recovers.
136 For example, when an OSD goes down, the ``health`` section of the status
137 output may be updated as follows:
143 Degraded data redundancy: 21/63 objects degraded (33.333%), 16 pgs unclean, 16 pgs degraded
145 At this time, cluster log messages are also emitted to record the failure of the
150 2017-07-25 10:08:58.265945 mon.a mon.0 172.21.9.34:6789/0 91 : cluster [WRN] Health check failed: 1 osds down (OSD_DOWN)

153 When the OSD comes back online, the cluster log records the cluster's return
158 2017-07-25 10:11:11.526841 mon.a mon.0 172.21.9.34:6789/0 109 : cluster [WRN] Health check update: Degraded data redundancy: 2 pgs unclean, 2 pgs degraded, 2 pgs undersized (PG_DEGRADED)

162 Network Performance Checks
163 --------------------------
165 Ceph OSDs send heartbeat ping messages amongst themselves to monitor daemon availability. We
166 also use the response times to monitor network performance.
167 While it is possible that a busy OSD could delay a ping response, we can assume
168 that if a network switch fails multiple delays will be detected between distinct pairs of OSDs.
170 By default we will warn about ping times which exceed 1 second (1000 milliseconds).
174 HEALTH_WARN Slow OSD heartbeats on back (longest 1118.001ms)
176 The health detail will add the combination of OSDs are seeing the delays and by how much. There is a limit of 10
181 [WRN] OSD_SLOW_PING_TIME_BACK: Slow OSD heartbeats on back (longest 1118.001ms)
182 Slow OSD heartbeats on back from osd.0 [dc1,rack1] to osd.1 [dc1,rack1] 1118.001 msec possibly improving
183 Slow OSD heartbeats on back from osd.0 [dc1,rack1] to osd.2 [dc1,rack2] 1030.123 msec
184 Slow OSD heartbeats on back from osd.2 [dc1,rack2] to osd.1 [dc1,rack1] 1015.321 msec
185 Slow OSD heartbeats on back from osd.1 [dc1,rack1] to osd.0 [dc1,rack1] 1010.456 msec
187 To see even more detail and a complete dump of network performance information the ``dump_osd_network`` command can be used. Typically, this would be
188 sent to a mgr, but it can be limited to a particular OSD's interactions by issuing it to any OSD. The current threshold which defaults to 1 second
189 (1000 milliseconds) can be overridden as an argument in milliseconds.
191 The following command will show all gathered network performance data by specifying a threshold of 0 and sending to the mgr.
195 $ ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-mgr.x.asok dump_osd_network 0
200 "last update": "Wed Sep 4 17:04:49 2019",
204 "interface": "front",
223 "last update": "Wed Sep 4 17:04:49 2019",
246 "last update": "Wed Sep 4 17:04:48 2019",
250 "interface": "front",
275 Health checks can be muted so that they do not affect the overall
276 reported status of the cluster. Alerts are specified using the health
277 check code (see :ref:`health-checks`)::
279 ceph health mute <code>
281 For example, if there is a health warning, muting it will make the
282 cluster report an overall status of ``HEALTH_OK``. For example, to
283 mute an ``OSD_DOWN`` alert,::
285 ceph health mute OSD_DOWN
287 Mutes are reported as part of the short and long form of the ``ceph health`` command.
288 For example, in the above scenario, the cluster would report::
291 HEALTH_OK (muted: OSD_DOWN)
293 HEALTH_OK (muted: OSD_DOWN)
294 (MUTED) OSD_DOWN 1 osds down
297 A mute can be explicitly removed with::
299 ceph health unmute <code>
303 ceph health unmute OSD_DOWN
305 A health check mute may optionally have a TTL (time to live)
306 associated with it, such that the mute will automatically expire
307 after the specified period of time has elapsed. The TTL is specified as an optional
308 duration argument, e.g.::
310 ceph health mute OSD_DOWN 4h # mute for 4 hours
311 ceph health mute MON_DOWN 15m # mute for 15 minutes
313 Normally, if a muted health alert is resolved (e.g., in the example
314 above, the OSD comes back up), the mute goes away. If the alert comes
315 back later, it will be reported in the usual way.
317 It is possible to make a mute "sticky" such that the mute will remain even if the
318 alert clears. For example,::
320 ceph health mute OSD_DOWN 1h --sticky # ignore any/all down OSDs for next hour
322 Most health mutes also disappear if the extent of an alert gets worse. For example,
323 if there is one OSD down, and the alert is muted, the mute will disappear if one
324 or more additional OSDs go down. This is true for any health alert that involves
325 a count indicating how much or how many of something is triggering the warning or
329 Detecting configuration issues
330 ==============================
332 In addition to the health checks that Ceph continuously runs on its
333 own status, there are some configuration issues that may only be detected
336 Use the `ceph-medic`_ tool to run these additional checks on your Ceph
337 cluster's configuration.
339 Checking a Cluster's Usage Stats
340 ================================
342 To check a cluster's data usage and data distribution among pools, you can
343 use the ``df`` option. It is similar to Linux ``df``. Execute
348 The **RAW STORAGE** section of the output provides an overview of the
349 amount of storage that is managed by your cluster.
351 - **CLASS:** The class of OSD device (or the total for the cluster)
352 - **SIZE:** The amount of storage capacity managed by the cluster.
353 - **AVAIL:** The amount of free space available in the cluster.
354 - **USED:** The amount of raw storage consumed by user data.
355 - **RAW USED:** The amount of raw storage consumed by user data, internal overhead, or reserved capacity.
356 - **%RAW USED:** The percentage of raw storage used. Use this number in
357 conjunction with the ``full ratio`` and ``near full ratio`` to ensure that
358 you are not reaching your cluster's capacity. See `Storage Capacity`_ for
361 The **POOLS** section of the output provides a list of pools and the notional
362 usage of each pool. The output from this section **DOES NOT** reflect replicas,
363 clones or snapshots. For example, if you store an object with 1MB of data, the
364 notional usage will be 1MB, but the actual usage may be 2MB or more depending
365 on the number of replicas, clones and snapshots.
367 - **NAME:** The name of the pool.
368 - **ID:** The pool ID.
369 - **USED:** The notional amount of data stored in kilobytes, unless the number
370 appends **M** for megabytes or **G** for gigabytes.
371 - **%USED:** The notional percentage of storage used per pool.
372 - **MAX AVAIL:** An estimate of the notional amount of data that can be written
374 - **OBJECTS:** The notional number of objects stored per pool.
376 .. note:: The numbers in the **POOLS** section are notional. They are not
377 inclusive of the number of replicas, snapshots or clones. As a result,
378 the sum of the **USED** and **%USED** amounts will not add up to the
379 **USED** and **%USED** amounts in the **RAW** section of the
382 .. note:: The **MAX AVAIL** value is a complicated function of the
383 replication or erasure code used, the CRUSH rule that maps storage
384 to devices, the utilization of those devices, and the configured
392 You can check OSDs to ensure they are ``up`` and ``in`` by executing::
400 You can also check view OSDs according to their position in the CRUSH map. ::
404 Ceph will print out a CRUSH tree with a host, its OSDs, whether they are up
407 #ID CLASS WEIGHT TYPE NAME STATUS REWEIGHT PRI-AFF
408 -1 3.00000 pool default
409 -3 3.00000 rack mainrack
410 -2 3.00000 host osd-host
411 0 ssd 1.00000 osd.0 up 1.00000 1.00000

413 2 ssd 1.00000 osd.2 up 1.00000 1.00000
415 For a detailed discussion, refer to `Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups`_.
417 Checking Monitor Status
418 =======================
420 If your cluster has multiple monitors (likely), you should check the monitor
421 quorum status after you start the cluster and before reading and/or writing data. A
422 quorum must be present when multiple monitors are running. You should also check
423 monitor status periodically to ensure that they are running.
425 To see display the monitor map, execute the following::
433 To check the quorum status for the monitor cluster, execute the following::
437 Ceph will return the quorum status. For example, a Ceph cluster consisting of
438 three monitors may return the following:
440 .. code-block:: javascript
442 { "election_epoch": 10,
451 "quorum_leader_name": "a",
452 "monmap": { "epoch": 1,
453 "fsid": "444b489c-4f16-4b75-83f0-cb8097468898",
454 "modified": "2011-12-12 13:28:27.505520",
455 "created": "2011-12-12 13:28:27.505520",
456 "features": {"persistent": [
465 "addr": "127.0.0.1:6789/0",

470 "public_addr": "127.0.0.1:6790/0"},
473 "addr": "127.0.0.1:6791/0",
474 "public_addr": "127.0.0.1:6791/0"}
482 Metadata servers provide metadata services for CephFS. Metadata servers have
483 two sets of states: ``up | down`` and ``active | inactive``. To ensure your
484 metadata servers are ``up`` and ``active``, execute the following::
488 To display details of the metadata cluster, execute the following::
493 Checking Placement Group States
494 ===============================
496 Placement groups map objects to OSDs. When you monitor your
497 placement groups, you will want them to be ``active`` and ``clean``.
498 For a detailed discussion, refer to `Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups`_.
500 .. _Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups: ../monitoring-osd-pg
503 Using the Admin Socket
504 ======================
506 The Ceph admin socket allows you to query a daemon via a socket interface.
507 By default, Ceph sockets reside under ``/var/run/ceph``. To access a daemon
508 via the admin socket, login to the host running the daemon and use the
511 ceph daemon {daemon-name}
512 ceph daemon {path-to-socket-file}
514 For example, the following are equivalent::
516 ceph daemon osd.0 foo
517 ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-osd.0.asok foo
519 To view the available admin socket commands, execute the following command::
521 ceph daemon {daemon-name} help
523 The admin socket command enables you to show and set your configuration at
524 runtime. See `Viewing a Configuration at Runtime`_ for details.
526 Additionally, you can set configuration values at runtime directly (i.e., the
527 admin socket bypasses the monitor, unlike ``ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id}
528 config set``, which relies on the monitor but doesn't require you to login
529 directly to the host in question ).
