Happy new year all Over the past year, our company has written an extensive guide on how we monitor ceph using Zabbix. I would rather contribute it as a HOWTO or Guide into the Ceph wiki, rather than just this email thread. It is written in wiki format, and email would lose that formatting. Hopefully it will benefit others, and I can continue to maintain it and update it by incorporating advice from others as time goes by. I see this intro Blog post to monitoring: http://ceph.com/community/monitoring-a-ceph-cluster/ That would be a good intro, and what I am proposing would be a follow-on "advanced" guide. Should it go to the Ceph Blog? Or elsewhere? If somebody can please advise how this contribution can be made, thanks!
