Chapter 13. Cephadm operations As a storage administrator, you can carry out Cephadm operations in the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. 13.1. Monitor cephadm log messages Cephadm logs to the cephadm cluster log channel so you can monitor progress in real time. To monitor progress in realtime, run the following command: Example Example By default, the log displays info-level events and above. To see the debug-level messages, run the following commands: Example Return debugging level to default info : Example To see the recent events, run the following command: Example Theses events are also logged to ceph.cephadm.log file on the monitor hosts and to the monitor daemon's stderr 13.2. Ceph daemon logs You can view the Ceph daemon logs through stderr or files. Logging to stdout Traditionally, Ceph daemons have logged to /var/log/ceph . By default, Cephadm daemons log to stderr and the logs are captured by the container runtime environment. For most systems, by default, these logs are sent to journald and accessible through the journalctl command. For example, to view the logs for the daemon on host01 for a storage cluster with ID 5c5a50ae-272a-455d-99e9-32c6a013e694 : Example This works well for normal Cephadm operations when logging levels are low. To disable logging to stderr , set the following values: Example Logging to files You can also configure Ceph daemons to log to files instead of stderr . When logging to files, Ceph logs are located in /var/log/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID . To enable logging to files, set the follwing values: Example Note Red Hat recommends disabling logging to stderr to avoid double logs. Important Currently log rotation to a non-default path is not supported. By default, Cephadm sets up log rotation on each host to rotate these files. You can configure the logging retention schedule by modifying /etc/logrotate.d/ceph. CLUSTER_FSID . 13.3. Data location Cephadm daemon data and logs are located in slightly different locations than the older versions of Ceph: /var/log/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID contains all the storage cluster logs. Note that by default Cephadm logs through stderr and the container runtime, so these logs are usually not present. /var/lib/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID contains all the cluster daemon data, besides logs. var/lib/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID / DAEMON_NAME contains all the data for an specific daemon. /var/lib/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID /crash contains the crash reports for the storage cluster. /var/lib/ceph/ CLUSTER_FSID /removed contains old daemon data directories for the stateful daemons, for example monitor or Prometheus, that have been removed by Cephadm. Disk usage A few Ceph daemons may store a significant amount of data in /var/lib/ceph , notably the monitors and Prometheus daemon, hence Red Hat recommends moving this directory to its own disk, partition, or logical volume so that the root file system is not filled up. 13.4. Cephadm custom config files Cephadm supports specifying miscellaneous configuration files for daemons. You must provide both the content of the configuration file and the location within the daemon's container where it should be mounted. A YAML spec is applied with custom config files specified. Cephadm redeploys the daemons for which the config files are specified. Then these files are mounted within the daemon's container at the specified location. You can apply a YAML spec with custom config files: Example You can mount the new config files within the containers for the daemons: Syntax Example
