Ceph Made Easy: One Dashboard for Multiple Ceph Clusters

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

A dashboard extension that lets one Ceph cluster act as a hub cluster to monitor and manage many others is shown, using Ceph REST APIs for control and Prometheus Federation for metric scraping; setup is immediate after authenticating with short‑lived tokens. The demo builds cluster linking, a combined overview with capacity and pool utilization, and an rados gateway multi‑site installer (rGW multiset automation) that runs the multi‑site workflow and logs actions, and it works in the demo though scale testing beyond ~10 clusters is still pending.
