Ceph Dashboard

###Fancy Console Dashboard

So the bosses enjoy seeing fancy graphs and real-time statistics on everything. What better way than to build a customized dashboard to show the things we want.

Recently I became interested in blessed-contrib for building console based dashboards using node.js

Whipping up a quick dashboard to be able to monitor our microservices as well as our Ceph storage cluster was fun.

I did however need to build some extra widgets into blessed-contrib for better display of certain portions of the statistics. My changes can be seen at my own fork of blessed-contrib.

The source for the Ceph dashboard is available on GitHub

Get it!

###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

--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

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.
