Managed Ceph Documentation

1. Create Your Cluster

Getting started with Managed Ceph is simple. Follow these steps to create your first cluster:

# Initialize a new cluster
ceph-manager init --name my-cluster --nodes 3

# Configure storage pools
ceph-manager pool create --name data --size 100G
ceph-manager pool create --name backup --size 200G

2. Configure Access

Set up access credentials and configure your client applications:

# Generate access keys
ceph-manager keys create --name app-1

# Configure client access
ceph-manager client configure --name app-1 --pool data

3. Monitor Your Cluster

Access your monitoring dashboard and set up alerts:

# Enable monitoring
ceph-manager monitoring enable

# Configure alerts
ceph-manager alerts configure --threshold 80

Managed Ceph is built on a distributed architecture that ensures high availability and scalability:

Key Components

• Monitor Nodes: Maintain cluster state and consensus
• OSD Nodes: Handle data storage and replication
• Manager Nodes: Provide additional monitoring and interface
• Client Interface: APIs and tools for cluster interaction

Metrics Collection

Our monitoring system collects comprehensive metrics about your cluster:

• Performance metrics (IOPS, latency, throughput)
• Capacity utilization
• Hardware health
• Network statistics

Alert Configuration

# Configure performance alerts
ceph-manager alerts set --type performance --threshold 90

# Set up capacity alerts
ceph-manager alerts set --type capacity --threshold 80

# Configure custom alerts
ceph-manager alerts custom --name "high-latency" --condition "latency > 100ms"
