ceph-mgr administrator's guide
==============================
Manual setup
------------
Usually, you would set up a ceph-mgr daemon using a tool such
as ceph-ansible. These instructions describe how to set up
a ceph-mgr daemon manually.
First, create an authentication key for your daemon::
ceph auth get-or-create mgr.$name mon 'allow profile mgr' osd 'allow *' mds 'allow *'
Place that key into ``mgr data`` path, which for a cluster "ceph"
and mgr $name "foo" would be ``/var/lib/ceph/mgr/ceph-foo``.
Start the ceph-mgr daemon::
ceph-mgr -i $name
Check that the mgr has come up by looking at the output
of ``ceph status``, which should now include a mgr status line::
mgr active: $name
High availability
-----------------
In general, you should set up a ceph-mgr on each of the hosts
running a ceph-mon daemon to achieve the same level of availability.
By default, whichever ceph-mgr instance comes up first will be made
active by the monitors, and the others will be standbys. There is
no requirement for quorum among the ceph-mgr daemons.
If the active daemon fails to send a beacon to the monitors for
more than ``mon mgr beacon grace`` (default 30s), then it will be replaced
by a standby.
If you want to pre-empt failover, you can explicitly mark a ceph-mgr
daemon as failed using ``ceph mgr fail <mgr name>``.
Calling module commands
-----------------------
Where a module implements command line hooks, using the Ceph CLI's
``tell`` command to call them like this::
ceph tell mgr <command | help>
Note that it is not necessary to address a particular mgr instance,
simply ``mgr`` will pick the current active daemon.
Use the ``help`` command to get a list of available commands from all
modules.
