Prometheus plugin
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Provides a Prometheus exporter to pass on Ceph performance counters
|
|
from the collection point in ceph-mgr. Ceph-mgr receives MMgrReport
|
|
messages from all MgrClient processes (mons and OSDs, for instance)
|
|
with performance counter schema data and actual counter data, and keeps
|
|
a circular buffer of the last N samples. This plugin creates an HTTP
|
|
endpoint (like all Prometheus exporters) and retrieves the latest sample
|
|
of every counter when polled (or "scraped" in Prometheus terminology).
|
|
The HTTP path and query parameters are ignored; all extant counters
|
|
for all reporting entities are returned in text exposition format.
|
|
(See the Prometheus `documentation <https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/#text-format-details>`_.)
|
|
|
|
Enabling
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The *prometheus* module is enabled with::
|
|
|
|
ceph mgr module enable prometheus
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
By default the module will accept HTTP requests on port ``9283`` on all
|
|
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the host. The port and listen address are both
|
|
configurable with ``ceph config-key put``, with keys
|
|
``mgr/prometheus/server_addr`` and ``mgr/prometheus/server_port``.
|
|
This port is registered with Prometheus's `registry <https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/wiki/Default-port-allocations>`_.
|
|

|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Counters and gauges are exported; currently histograms and long-running
|
|
averages are not. It's possible that Ceph's 2-D histograms could be
|
|
reduced to two separate 1-D histograms, and that long-running averages
|
|
could be exported as Prometheus' Summary type.
|
|
|
|
The names of the stats are exactly as Ceph names them, with
|
|
illegal characters ``.`` and ``-`` translated to ``_``. There is one
|
|
label applied, ``daemon``, and its value is the daemon.id for the
|
|
daemon in question (e.g. ``{daemon=mon.hosta}`` or ``{daemon=osd.11}``).
|
|
|
|
Timestamps, as with many Prometheus exporters, are established by
|
|
the server's scrape time (Prometheus expects that it is polling the
|
|
actual counter process synchronously). It is possible to supply a
|
|
timestamp along with the stat report, but the Prometheus team strongly
|
|
advises against this. This means that timestamps will be delayed by
|
|
an unpredictable amount; it's not clear if this will be problematic,
|
|
but it's worth knowing about.
