Ceph Dash

Overview

Ceph-dash offers a user-friendly approach for monitoring and managing Ceph clusters through an intuitive web interface and a RESTful JSON API. This solution eliminates the dependency on the existing ceph-rest-api, allowing direct communication with the cluster via librados. It’s perfect for administrators looking for a clean and efficient way to obtain an overview of their Ceph cluster's health.

One of the standout features of Ceph-dash is its adaptability to modern deployment technologies, specifically Kubernetes and Docker. The integration of various graphing backends, including InfluxDB and Graphite, enhances its versatility for data visualization. This makes Ceph-dash an attractive choice for those aiming to streamline their cloud-native storage solutions.
