rrdrados

SYNOPSIS

<rrdfile> = ceph//<name>

DESCRIPTION

This module adds support for creating, updating and retrieving RRD files directly from a Ceph cluster using librados.

It adds a ceph// prefix to RRD file name which is used to instruct rrdtool to operate on a file that is stored in Ceph.

Currently the module expects to find the Ceph configuration file in the default location at /etc/ceph/ceph.conf. By default it uses Ceph client ID "admin" and a Ceph pool named "rrd".

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CEPH_ID

Sets the Ceph Client ID to use when connecting. By default the client ID "admin" is used.

CEPH_POOL

Sets the name of the Ceph Pool to connect to. By default, the pool "rrd" is used.

EXAMPLES

Creating an RRD file on Ceph

 rrdtool create ceph//temperature.rrd --step 300 \
   DS:temp:GAUGE:600:-273:5000 \
   RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 \
   RRA:MIN:0.5:12:2400 \
   RRA:MAX:0.5:12:2400 \
   RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:2400

Importing an existing RRD into Ceph

 rrdtool dump existing.rrd | rrdtool restore - ceph//new.rrd

Or you could also copy the RRD file directly into Ceph using the rados command line utility.

Retrieving RRD data from Ceph

 rrdtool fetch ceph//file.rrd AVERAGE
