Hi all, What makes me confused recently is that how to decide the number of monitors in a cluster. In my opinion, it depends on the size of the cluster while my colleague says it should be at least 5 in a cluster. He sends me the redhat document <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_ceph_storage/5/html-single/installation_guide/index> and it is indeed recommended to have 5 monitors in a cluster(see section 3.12). However it also recommends deploying at least 3 monitors, deploying 5 monitors for the cluster exceeding 750 osds. So what exactly does the number of monitors depends on?
