Reporting

IBM Storage Ceph provides system monitoring and reporting. System administrators can retrieve configuration settings at runtime.

IBM Storage Ceph provides basic system monitoring and reporting with the ceph-mgr daemon plug-ins, namely, the RESTful API, the dashboard, and other plug-ins such as Prometheus and Zabbix. Ceph collects this information using collectd and sockets to retrieve settings, configuration details, and statistical information.

In addition to default system behavior, system administrators may configure collectd to report on security matters, such as configuring the IP-Tables or ConnTrack plug-ins to track open ports and connections respectively.
