Re: Feedback wanted: health warning when standby MDS dies?

I would take the analogy of a Raid scenario. Basically a standby is considered like a spare drive. If that spare drive goes down. It is good to know about the event, but it does in no way indicate a degraded system, everything keeps running at top speed.

If you had multi active MDS and one goes down then I would say that is a degraded system, but still waiting for that feature.

Hi John.

That would be good.

In our case we are just picking that up simply through nagios and some fancy scripts parsing the dump of the MDS maps.

Cheers

Subject: Feedback wanted: health warning when standby MDS dies?

Hi all,

Someone asked me today how to get a list of down MDS daemons, and I
explained that currently the MDS simply forgets about any standby that
stops sending beacons.  That got me thinking about the case where a
standby dies while the active MDS remains up -- the cluster has gone
into a non-highly-available state, but we are not giving the admin any
indication.

I've suggested a solution here:
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/17604

This is probably going to be a bit of a subjective thing in terms of
whether people find it useful or find it to be annoying noise, so I'd
be interested in feedback from people currently running cephfs.

Cheers,
John
