Attach a Ceph cluster to Multi-Cluster Manager to enable centralized monitoring and management.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
  • Generate a JWT token with administrator privileges on the target Ceph cluster.
  • The target Ceph cluster has the Prometheus monitoring stack enabled.

Procedure

  1. Open the Multi-Cluster Manager dashboard.
  2. From the Multi-Cluster Manager dashboard, go to Clusters > Attach Cluster.
    The Attach Cluster form displays.
  3. Fill in the Attach Cluster form and click Submit.
    Multi-Cluster Manager automatically performs the onboarding process and verifies connectivity to the cluster.

Results

The cluster appears in the Multi-Cluster Manager dashboard and begins reporting health, alert, capacity, and performance information.

What to do next

After the cluster is successfully added, verify cluster attachment and begin centralized monitoring from the Ceph Dashboard. For more information, see Access the Multi-Cluster Manager from the Ceph Dashboard.
