Overview

Enable the Datadog-Ceph integration to:

• Track disk usage across storage pools
• Receive service checks in case of issues
• Monitor I/O performance metrics

Setup

Installation

The Ceph check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your Ceph servers.

Configuration

Edit the file ceph.d/conf.yaml in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample ceph.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options:

init_config:

instances:
  - ceph_cmd: /path/to/your/ceph # default is /usr/bin/ceph
    use_sudo: true # only if the ceph binary needs sudo on your nodes

If you enabled use_sudo, add a line like the following to your sudoers file:

dd-agent ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/path/to/your/ceph

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Next, edit ceph.d/conf.yaml by uncommenting the logs lines at the bottom. Update the logs path with the correct path to your Ceph log files.

   logs:
     - type: file
       path: /var/log/ceph/*.log
       source: ceph
       service: "<APPLICATION_NAME>"
   

3. Restart the Agent.

Validation

Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for ceph under the Checks section.
