ceph-mon -- ceph monitor daemon
=============================
.. program:: cmon
Synopsis
========
| **cmon** -i *monid* [ --mon-data *mondatapath* ]
Description
===========
**cmon** is the cluster monitor daemon for the Ceph distributed file
system. One or more instances of **cmon** form a Paxos part-time
parliament cluster that provides extremely reliable and durable
storage of cluster membership, configuration, and state.
The *mondatapath* refers to a directory on a local file system storing
monitor data. It is normally specified via the ``mon data`` option in
the configuration file.
Options
=======
.. option:: -f, --foreground
Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do
not generate a pid file. Useful when run via :doc:`ceph-run <ceph-run>`\(8).
.. option:: -d
Debug mode: like ``-f``, but also send all log output to stderr.
.. option:: -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
Use *ceph.conf* configuration file instead of the default
``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` to determine monitor addresses during
startup.
Availability
============
**cmon** is part of the Ceph distributed file system. Please refer to
the Ceph wiki at http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki for more information.
