#New Version 0.1.2

After a bit of hacking away, I have put up version 0.1.2.

This includes new features for monitoring your Ceph cluster in many different ways.

##Monitoring Methods

  • Run the dashboard on a machine that is a Ceph admin.
  • Monitor over an SSH connection
  • Run the dashboard without automatically gathering data. Allowing for you to work up some way of gathering data manually (like pushing data to it from inside a private network)

Easy install and usage!

###Installation

npm install -g blessed-ceph-dash

####Local Usage (ceph admin)

ceph-dash

####SSH Usage (ssh to ceph admin)

ceph-dash --remote=remotehost --port 22 --key /path/to/identity

Optionally instead of

1
--key
you can use
1
--password
and specify it on the command line.

####Dumb Dashboard

ceph-dash --noauto --bind 1234

Will start the dashboard listening on port 1234. This will output a command you would run on some server that has access to the

1
ceph
command with admin privileges. It would POST the JSON data to the port so that you can bypass any possible firewalling/internal networking problems that would arise from the other methods.
