ceph -- ceph file system control utility
==========================================
.. program:: ceph
Synopsis
========
| **ceph** [ -m *monaddr* ] [ -w | *command* ... ]
Description
===========
**ceph** is a control utility for communicating with the monitor
cluster of a running Ceph distributed file system.
There are three basic modes of operation.
Interactive mode
----------------
To start in interactive mode, no arguments are necessary. Control-d or
'quit' will exit.
Watch mode
----------
To watch cluster state changes in real time, starting in -w (watch)
mode will print updates to stdout as they occur. For example, to keep
an eye on cluster state, run::
ceph -C ceph.conf -w
Command line mode
-----------------
Finally, to send a single instruction to the monitor cluster (and wait
for a response), the command can be specified on the command line.
Options
=======
.. option:: -i infile
will specify an input file to be passed along as a payload with the
command to the monitor cluster. This is only used for specific
monitor commands.
.. option:: -o outfile
will write any payload returned by the monitor cluster with its
reply to outfile. Only specific monitor commands (e.g. osd getmap)
return a payload.
.. 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.
.. option:: -m monaddress[:port]
Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
Examples
========
To grab a copy of the current OSD map::
ceph -m 1.2.3.4:6789 osd getmap -o osdmap
To get a dump of placement group (PG) state::
ceph pg dump -o pg.txt
Monitor commands
================
A more complete summary of commands understood by the monitor cluster can be found in the
wiki, at
http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Monitor_commands
Availability
============
**ceph** is part of the Ceph distributed file system. Please refer to the Ceph wiki at
http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki for more information.
