Hi Sergio,
You don't happen to have rsyslog forwarding to a central log server
by any chance? I've seen this behaviour before when my central log
server is not keeping up with messages.
Cheers,

being extremely slow. Here are their logs:

I'm still puzzled to see logs being written with a timestamp
that is several minutes behind the system clock. As time passes,
the gap widens and quickly the logs are over 10 minutes behind
the actual time, which explains why the logs above don't seem
to overlap.

Awesome, thanks so much, Joao.
Here's the mon_status:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2b80a9a75d134d9e539dfbc81615c055
I'm still trying to collect the logs, but while doing that I
noticed that the log records are severely delayed compared
to the system clock. For example, watching the logs with
tail -f, I see records with a timestamp that is up to 28
minutes behind the system clock!
Also, while trying to set debug level, the monitors
sometimes hung for several minutes, so there's obviously
something wrong with them.

the problem because I had a quorum before with
monitors 0, 1, 2.
So I stopped monitor 4 and started monitor 0 again,
but this time
monitors 0, 1, 2 failed to reach a quorum, which is
rather puzzling.
All hosts are pretty much idle all the time so I
can't see why monitors
would be getting stuck.
Grab 'ceph daemon mon.<ID> mon_status' from all
monitors, set 'debug mon = 10', 'debug paxos = 10',
'debug ms = 1', grab logs from the monitors for the
periods before, during and after election (ideally for
at least two election cycles). Put them up somewhere on
the interwebs and send us a link.
If you don't feel comfortable putting that link in the
list, send me an email directly with the url.
I'll be happy to take a look later tonight.

All monitors have the exact same mom map.
I suspect you're right that there might be
some communication
problem
though. I stopped monitor 1 (60zxl02), but
the other 3 monitors
still
failed to reach a quorum. I could see
monitor 0 was still declaring
victory but the others were always calling

I'm curious about the "handle_timecheck
drop unexpected msg"
message.
timechecks (i.e., checking for clock skew), as
well as the
data_health service (which makes sure you have
enough disk space in
the mon data dir) are only run when you have a
quorum. If a message
is received by a monitor not in a quorum,
regardless of state, it
will be dropped.
Assuming you know took one of the
self-appointed leaders out - by
shutting it down, for instance -, you should
now check what's
causing elections not to hold.
In these cases, assuming your 3 monitors do
form a quorum, the
traditional issue tends to be 'lease timeouts'.
I.e., the leader
fails to provide a lease extension on paxos for
the peons, and the
peons assume the leader failed in some form
(unresponsive, down,
whatever).
Above it does seem a lease timeout was
triggered on a peon. This may
have happened because:
1. leader did not extend the lease
2. leader did extend the lease but lease was in
the past - usually
indication of a clock skew on the leader, on
the peons, or both.
3. leader did extend the lease, it was with the
correct time but
peon failed to dispatch the message on time.
Both 1. and 2. may be due to several factors,
but most commonly it's
because the monitor was stuck doing something.
This something, more
often than not, is leveldb. If this is the
case, check the size of
your leveldb. If it is over 5 or 6GB in size,
you may need to
manually compact the store (mon compact on
start = true, iirc).

There are two likely scenarios to
explain this:
1. The monitors have different
monitors in their monmaps - this
could happen if you didn't add the new
monitor via 'ceph
mon add'.
You can check this by running 'ceph
daemon mon.<ID>
mon_status' for
each of the monitors in the cluster.
2. some of the monitors are unable to
communicate with each
other,
thus will never acknowledge the same
leader. This does not
mean you
have two leaders for the same cluster,
but it does mean
that you
will end up having two monitors
declaring victory and
become the
self-proclaimed leader in the cluster.
The peons should
still only
belong to one quorum.
If this does not help you, try setting
'debug mon = 10' and
'debug
ms = 1' on the monitors and check the
logs, making sure the
monitors
get the probes and follow the election
process. If you need
further
assistance, put those logs online
somewhere we can access
them and
we'll try to help you out.

Hi,
I have a cluster of 5 hosts
running Ceph 0.94.6 on
CentOS
6.5. On
each host, there is 1 monitor
and 13 OSDs. We had
an issue
with the
network and for some reason
(which I still don't
know why), the
servers were restarted. One
host is still down,
but the
monitors on
the 4 remaining servers are
failing to enter a quorum.
I managed to get a quorum of
3 monitors by
stopping all Ceph
monitors and OSDs across all
machines, and
bringing up the
top 3
ranked monitors in order of
rank. After a few
minutes, the
60z0m02
monitor (the top ranked one)
became the leader:

}
}
The other 2 monitors became
peons:
"name": "60zxl02",
"rank": 1,
"state": "peon",
"election_epoch": 11328,
"quorum": [
0,

"rank": 2,
"state": "peon",
"election_epoch": 11328,
"quorum": [
0,
1,
2
],
I then proceeded to start the
fourth monitor, 615yl02
(618yl02 is
powered off), but after more
than 2 hours and
several election
rounds, the monitors still
haven't reached a
quorum. The
monitors
alternate mostly between
"election", "probing"
states but
they often
seem to be in different
election epochs.
Is this normal?
Is there anything I can do to
help the monitors
elect a leader?
Should I manually remove the
dead host's monitor
from the
monitor map?
I left all OSD daemons
stopped while the election
is going on
purpose. Is this the best
thing to do? Would
bringing the
OSDs up
help or complicate matters
even more? Or doesn't
it make
any difference?
I don't see anything
obviously wrong in the
monitor logs.
They're
mostly filled with messages
like the following:
2016-07-25 14:17:57.806148
