extended-ceph-exporter

A Prometheus exporter to provide "extended" metrics about a Ceph cluster's running components (e.g., RGW).

Due to the closure of Koor Technologies, Inc. this repository has been made to continue the work on the extended-ceph-exporter project.

Requirements

• Needs a Ceph cluster up and running.

• Needs an admin user

  radosgw-admin user create --uid extended-ceph-exporter --display-name "extended-ceph-exporter admin user" --caps "buckets=read;users=read;usage=read;metadata=read;zone=read"
  # Access key / "Username"
  radosgw-admin user info --uid extended-ceph-exporter | jq '.keys[0].access_key'
  # Secret key / "Password
  radosgw-admin user info --uid extended-ceph-exporter | jq '.keys[0].secret_key'
  

Rook

If using Rook to manage RGW, the admin user may also be created using a CephOjectStoreUser resource:

apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1
kind: CephObjectStoreUser
metadata:
  name: extended-ceph-exporter
  namespace: rook-ceph
spec:
  store: <objectstore-name>
  clusterNamespace: rook-ceph
  displayName: extended-ceph-exporter
  capabilities:
    buckets: read
    users: read
    usage: read
    metadata: read
    zone: read

Applying this will create an user with all permissions needed.

Quickstart

• Clone the repository, download release binary or pull the container image:

  git clone https://github.com/galexrt/extended-ceph-exporter
  cd extended-ceph-exporter

• Create a copy of the .env.example file and name it .env. Configure your RGW credentials and endpoint in the .env file.

• Configure Prometheus to collect metrics from the exporter from :9138/metrics endpoint using a static configuration, here's a sample scrape job from the prometheus.yml:

  # For more information on Prometheus scrape_configs:
  # https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config
  scrape_configs:
  
    - job_name: "extended-ceph-metrics"
  
      # Override the global default and scrape targets from this job every 30 seconds.
      scrape_interval: 30s
  
      static_configs:
        # Please change the ip address `127.0.0.1` to target the exporter is running
        - targets: ['127.0.0.1:9138']

• To run the exporter locally, run go run .

• Should you have Grafana running for metrics visulization, check out the Grafana dashboards.

Helm

To install the exporter to Kubernetes using Helm, check out the extended-ceph-exporter Helm Chart.

Collectors

There is varying support for collectors. The tables below list all existing collectors and the required Ceph components.

Enabled by default

Name	Description	Ceph Component
rgw_buckets	Exposes RGW Bucket Usage and Quota metrics from the Ceph cluster.	RGW
rgw_user_quota	Exposes RGW User Quota metrics from the Ceph cluster.	RGW

Disabled by default

Name	Description	Ceph Component
rbd_volumes	Exposes RBD volumes size (volume pool, id, and name are available as labels). Not available at the moment.	RBD

RGW: Multi-Realm Mode

You can use the exporter to scrape metrics from multiple RGW realms by enabling the "multi realm mode" and providing a "multi realm config" file.

An example multi realm config file can be found here realms.example.yaml.

Please note that if the multi realm mode is enabled, the RGW flags (e.g., --rgw-host, --rgw-access-key, --rgw-secret-key) are ignored as the realms.yaml (flag --multi-realm-config) takes over.

Flags

$ extended-ceph-exporter --help
Usage of exporter:
      --cache-duration duration      Cache duration in seconds (default 20s)
      --cache-enabled                Enable metrics caching to reduce load
      --collectors-enabled strings   List of enabled collectors (please refer to the readme for a list of all available collectors) (default [rgw_user_quota,rgw_buckets])
      --context-timeout duration     Context timeout for collecting metrics per collector (default 1m0s)
      --http-timeout duration        HTTP request timeout for collecting metrics for RGW API HTTP client (default 55s)
      --listen-host string           Exporter listen host (default ":9138")
      --log-level string             Set log level (default "INFO")
      --metrics-path string          Set the metrics endpoint path (default "/metrics")
      --multi-realm                  Enable multi realm mode (requires realms.yaml config, see --multi-realm-config flag)
      --multi-realm-config string    Path to your realms.yaml config file (default "realms.yaml")
      --rgw-access-key string        RGW Access Key
      --rgw-host string              RGW Host URL
      --rgw-secret-key string        RGW Secret Key
      --skip-tls-verify              Skip TLS cert verification
      --version                      Show version info and exit
pflag: help requested
exit status 2

Development

Requirements

• Golang 1.23.x (or higher should work)
• Ceph development files (librados, librdb)
  • If you are using nix, the flake.nix should be satisfy these lib dependencies.
• helm

Making Changes to the Helm Chart

When changing anything in the Helm Chart, the version in the Chart.yaml needs to be increased according to Semver. Additionally make helm-doc must be run afterwards and the changes to the Helm Chart's README.md must be commited as well.

Debugging

A VSCode debug config is available to run and debug the project.

To make the exporter talk with a Ceph RGW S3 endpoint, create a copy of the .env.example file and name it .env. Be sure ot add your Ceph RGW S3 endpoint and credentials in it.
