The Ceph Dashboard v2 pull request is ready for review!

About a month ago, we shared the news that we started working on a replacement for the Ceph dashboard, to set the stage for creating a full-fledged, built-in web-base management tool for Ceph.

We're happy to announce that we have now finalized the preparations for the initial pull request, which marks our first milestone in this venture: reaching feature parity with the existing dashboard.

In fact, compared to the dashboard shipped with Ceph Luminous, we already included a number of additional features that were added after the Luminous release and added a simple authentication mechanism.

Dashboard v2 currently provides insight into the following aspects of your Ceph cluster:

• Overall cluster health: Displays the overall cluster status, storage utilization (e.g. number of objects, raw capacity, usage per pool), a list of pools and their status and usage statistics, access to the cluster log file.
• Hosts: A list of all hosts associated to the cluster, which services are running and which version of Ceph is installed.
• Performance counters: Display detailed statistics for each running service.
• Monitors: List of all MONs, their quorum status, open sessions.
• Configuration Reference: List of all available configuration options, their description and default values.
• OSDs: A list of all OSDs, their status and usage statistics as well as detailed information like attributes (OSD map), metadata, performance counters and usage histograms for read/write operations.
• iSCSI: List of all hosts that run the TCMU runner service, list of all images and their performance characteristics (read/write ops, traffic).
• RBD: List of all RBD images and their properties (size, objects, features) in a given pool.
• RBD mirroring: List of all active sync daemons and their status, pools and RBD images including their synchronization state.
• CephFS: List of all active filesystem clients and associated pools, including their usage statistics.
• Object Gateway: List of all active object gateways and their performance counters.

We're looking forward to your feedback and comments!
