sorry, I didn't notice you had already looked at gstatus.
Nonetheless with its JSON output you certainly cover the issues you described
i.e. "When Brick went down (crash, failure, shutdown), node failure, peering issue, on-going healing"
which is how we use it.

https://github.com/gluster/gstatus
we run this from an ansible driven cronjob and check for the healthy signal in status, as well as looking for healing files that seem to persist.
We have a number of gluster clusters and we have found its warnings both useful and timely.

Hello
How do you keep track of the health status of your Gluster volumes? When Brick went down (crash, failure, shutdown), node failure, peering issue, on-going healing?
Gluster Tendrl is complex and sometimes it's broken, Prometheus exporter still lacking, gstatus is basic.
Currently, to monitor a Gluster volume, a custom script should be used to gather whatever info needed for monitoring or a combination of the mentioned tools.
Can Gluster have something similar to Ceph and display the health of the entire cluster? I know Ceph uses it’s “Monitors” to keep track of everything going inside the cluster, but Gluster should also have a way to keep track of the cluster’s health.
How’s the community experience with Gluster monitoring? How are you managing and tracking alerts and issues? Any recommendations?
Thank you.
