@@ -8,9 +8,30 @@ The :term:`Ceph Manager` daemon (ceph-mgr) runs alongside monitor daemons,
 to provide additional monitoring and interfaces to external monitoring
 and management systems.
 
+Since the 12.x (*luminous*) Ceph release, the ceph-mgr daemon is required for
+normal operations.  The ceph-mgr daemon is an optional component in
+the 11.x (*kraken*) Ceph release.
+
+By default, the manager daemon requires no additional configuration, beyond
+ensuring it is running.  If there is no mgr daemon running, you will
+see a health warning to that effect, and some of the other information
+in the output of `ceph status` will be missing or stale until a mgr is started.
+
+Use your normal deployment tools, such as ceph-ansible or ceph-deploy, to
+set up ceph-mgr daemons on each of your mon nodes.  It is not mandatory
+to place mgr daemons on the same nodes as mons, but it is almost always
+sensible.
