Hi,
After looking at the documentation [0] on how to write a plugin for ceph-mgr I've been playing with the idea to create a Zabbix [1] plugin for ceph-mgr.
Before I start writing one I'd like to check if I'm thinking in the right direction.
Zabbix supports Items and Triggers. Triggers are based on Items's values. A Item could be from the type 'Trapper' where a application can simply send key=value pairs, for example:
my.host.name ceph.health HEALTH_OK
my.host.name ceph.osd.up 499
my.host.name ceph.osd.in 498
A simple ceph-mgr module could do:
def serve(self):
while True:
send_data_to_zabbix()
time.sleep(60)
Now, would that be a sane plugin for ceph-mgr or is this something you shouldn't put in the mgr? To me it seems like a good place since it already has all the data present.
