Delighted to hear you're interested in this project--we'd love to finally build in this functionality (it's a common request from users). This will be one of the first python plugins in the new ceph-mgr daemon, so there will likely be some related work with the plugin interface and the corresponding C++ code. You can find what's there now (not much!) at https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/src/pybind/mgr For a larger example (not yet merged) that adds a full-blown GUI written in python see https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/13725 The implementation logistics aside, the crux of this project will be figuring out a statistical model to identify performance outliers and define a reasonable automated response... ideally one that will avoid false positives and overcorrections. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
