mgr: Zabbix monitoring module
This ceph-mgr module will pull various values from the Ceph cluster
and send them to a Zabbix Server using zabbix_sender.

This requires the zabbix_sender executable to be present on the system
running ceph-mgr as it will be invoked to send data to Zabbix.

A Zabbix template can be found in this directory which can be used
to easily get data from your Ceph cluster into Zabbix.

More information is available in the README file found in the module's
directory.

===================
Ceph Manager Daemon
===================
The :term:`Ceph Manager` daemon (ceph-mgr) runs alongside monitor daemons,
to provide additional monitoring and interfaces to external monitoring
and management systems.
Since the 12.x (*luminous*) Ceph release, the ceph-mgr daemon is required for
normal operations. The ceph-mgr daemon is an optional component in
the 11.x (*kraken*) Ceph release.
By default, the manager daemon requires no additional configuration, beyond
ensuring it is running. If there is no mgr daemon running, you will
see a health warning to that effect, and some of the other information
in the output of `ceph status` will be missing or stale until a mgr is started.
Use your normal deployment tools, such as ceph-ansible or ceph-deploy, to
set up ceph-mgr daemons on each of your mon nodes. It is not mandatory
to place mgr daemons on the same nodes as mons, but it is almost always
sensible.
