Ceph Calamari  : step-by-step 



Ceph Calamari : Karan Singh


Calamari is a management and monitoring system for Ceph storage cluster. It provides a beautiful Dashboard User Interface that makes Ceph cluster monitoring amazingly simple and handy. Calamari was initially a part of Inktank's Ceph Enterprise product offering and it has been open sourced few months back by Red Hat. Hence Calamari is a matured enterprise level software which is now Open Source. 

If you are wondering how you can deploy calamari for your Ceph cluster , this blog will navigate you with the step by step instruction. As of now precompiled packages for calamari are not available , you would require to compile from source and get calamari up and running for your environment.

I would like to express my thanks to Gregory Meno and Dan Mick from Inktank ( RedHat ) for their support  during troubleshooting.


Introduction

Calamari is the management and monitoring service for Ceph, exposing a high level REST API.

Calamari consists of two pieces (and two separate repos, now in the Ceph Github project):

1) Backend ( Calamari Server ) — the Calamari backend is written in Python 2.6+, using Saltstack, ZeroRPC, gevent, Django, django-rest-framework, graphite and instantiates a new REST API for integration with other systems. This is an important distinction because earlier versions of Calamari were based on the Ceph REST API. The new Calamari REST API is designed to be much more comprehensive and should be the basis for new development efforts that wish to interact with a Ceph cluster. Source Code :https://github.com/ceph/calamari

2) Frontend ( Calamari Clients ) — the Calamari frontend is a web browser UI implemented primarily in Javascript that uses the Calamari REST API. Source Code : https://github.com/ceph/calamari-clients
Calamari Server side components include : Apache, salt-master , supervisord , cthulhu , carbon-cache
Calamari Client side components include : salt-minion , diamond

Building Calamari from source

Unlike Ceph , Calamari does not comes with prebuilt RPM / DEB packages. If you are interested in calamari you need to build your own packages based on your distributions. To deploy Calamari , you need to build packages for Calamari Server as well as for Calamari clients.

Building Calamari Server packages


These instruction will guide you to build RPM packages that will be used with RHEL based distributions. For Ubuntu DEB packages , most of the steps are same. I would try to highlight extra steps if required.

1. Install GIT and vagrant on your local workstation. 

For example i am using a MAC workstation and will connect to my Ceph cluster and other servers over SSH. So i would install GIT and vagrant locally on my machine. On this workstation we will create some vagrant instances and inside those vagrant instances we will build RPM packages for Calamari server and client . Once packages are built , we will transfer the packages from the workstation to the Server machine that you designate for Calamari server and calamari clients.

2. Clone calamari server and diamond repositories.
$ mkdir /tmp/calamari-repo
$ cd /tmp/calamari-repo

$ git clone https://github.com/ceph/calamari.git
Cloning into 'calamari'...

3. Check calamari contents , under vagrant directory , you would find various distributions . Select your distribution and perform vagrant up.
Ubuntu users : In this step select the vagrant directory precise-build  for ubuntu DEB packages.
$ cd calamari/

4. Finally perform vagrantup for Centos distribution, this will create a virtual environment with all the prerequisite necessary for calamari server package building process.

$ vagrant up

5. On this new CentOS vagrant VM , you would notice some filesystem were mounted , actually they calamari source directory that we have cloned from github and has been shared and mounted as file system on CentOS vagrant VM. Now for building packages , we will use the same directory hierarchy and the resultant RPM package will also be stored in this shared directory.SSH into vagrant CentOS instance

$ vagrant ssh

[vagrant@vagrant-centos64 ~]$
[vagrant@vagrant-centos64 ~]$ df -h

6. Build you Calamari server RPM packages , with the below salt command.

$ sudo salt-call state.highstate
[vagrant@vagrant-centos64 ~]$ sudo salt-call state.highstate

8. You should now exit from the centos vagrant machine and on your local machine list the directory you would find rpm packages for calamari server and diamond.

9 . At this point you are ready with Calamari server RPM packages. The next step is to build calamari client packages.


Building Calamari client packages


The calamari client packages provides the GUI to calamari dashboard. As calamari build process is not greatly matured , we need to use ubuntu vagrant to build client packages. This will generate a tarball of client packages , that you can use with centos machines.

CentOS / RHEL users : Note , this will not generate any RPM package and you would need to user tarball.
Ubuntu Users: Cheers , you will get DEB packages that you can use directly.

1. Clone calamari client from github on to your workstation ( the same directory as you were using before ) , and perform vagrant for ubuntu precise VM

CentOS / RHEL users : Don't panic , you also have to user ubuntu precise vagrant instance in order to build Calamari client tarball.
Ubuntu Users : No comment for you , please proceed :-)

6. At this stage you have Calamari client DEB packages and tarball calamari-clients-build-output.tar.gz 

Deploying Calamari

Deploying calamari is again a multi step process. 

#1 Install Calamari server packages 
#2 Add calamari client web app contents to Calamari server
#3 Install diamond and salt-minion on Ceph nodes , that you wish to monitor using Calamari dashboard.


Installing Calamari Server


Copy the following packages that we have generated in the earlier steps from the workstation to the server that you intend to configure as calamari master. 

calamari-server-1.2.1-29_g9d02dc3.el6.x86_64.rpm 
diamond-3.4.67-0.noarch.rpm 
calamari-clients-build-output.tar.gz

Ubuntu Users : Copy the DEB packages of calamari server and client.

1. Instal the packages on the node that will be your Calamari master.

$ sudo yum install -y calamari-server-1.2.1-37_g6f353e6.el6.x86_64.rpm
$ sudo yum install -y diamond-3.4.67-0.noarch.rpm

2. Uncompress , untar the files and move it to /opt/calamari/webapp of calamari master . These files provides GUI facility to calamari webapp

$ sudo gunzip calamari-clients-build-output.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xvf calamari-clients-build-output.tar
$ cd /tmp/opt/calamari/webapp
$ sudo cp -rp content/ /opt/calamari/webapp/content
$ sudo ls -l /opt/calamari/webapp/content
total 16
drwxr-xr-x. 7 1000 1000 4096 Sep 23 09:28 admin
drwxr-xr-x. 7 1000 1000 4096 Sep 23 09:28 dashboard
drwxr-xr-x. 7 1000 1000 4096 Sep 23 09:28 login
drwxr-xr-x. 8 1000 1000 4096 Sep 23 09:28 manage

3. At this point your calamari server is ready , you just need to initialize calamari by running 
$ sudo calamari-ctl initialize

[ceph@ceph-node4 calamari]$ sudo calamari-ctl initialize
[INFO] Loading configuration..
[INFO] Starting/enabling salt...
[INFO] Starting/enabling postgres...
[INFO] Initializing database...

[INFO] Restarting services...

.................................. Output Truncated ...............

This username and password would be required to login to Calamari dashboard.

4. Openup browser and navigate to the IP address of your calamari server. You would see calamari dashboard login page , provide the login details that we have set in the last step.

5 Calamari would not be able to find the Ceph cluster and will ask to add a cluster , for this we need to add Ceph clients to dashboard by installing salt-minion and diamond packages on them.


Ceph Calamari : Karan Singh


Adding your Ceph cluster nodes to Calamari Dashboard


Perform the following steps on all your Ceph cluster nodes, inorder to add them to Calamari dashboard.

1. Install diamond packages that we have build already ( previous steps )
$ sudo yum install -y diamond-3.4.67-0.noarch.rpm 

2. Create a default diamond configuration file.
$ sudo mv /etc/diamond/diamond.conf.example /etc/diamond/diamond.conf

3. Install salt-minion packages 
$ sudo yum install -y salt-minion 
$ sudo chkconfig salt-minion on

Ubuntu Users : Use ubuntu package manager for installing salt-minion

4. Configure salt-minion , so that it can reach to Calamari master.
Edit /etc/salt/minion and add your calamari server hostname.

master: ceph-node4

5. Restart services
$ sudo service salt-minion restart 
$ sudo service diamond restart

6. Repeat these steps for all the Ceph cluster nodes

Authorize Ceph cluster to add in calamari


Once you configure all the Ceph cluster nodes with salt-minion and diamond, you need to accept salt-keys from calamari master

1. From calamari master check for unaccepted salt-keys.
$ sudo salt-key -L
$ sudo salt-key -L
Accepted Keys:
Unaccepted Keys:
ceph-node1
ceph-node2
ceph-node3
Rejected Keys:
$

2. Accept salt-keys
$ sudo salt-key -A
The following keys are going to be accepted:
Unaccepted Keys:
ceph-node1
ceph-node2
ceph-node3
Proceed? [n/Y] y
Key for minion ceph-node1 accepted.
Key for minion ceph-node2 accepted.
Key for minion ceph-node3 accepted.

$ sudo salt-key -L
Accepted Keys:
ceph-node1
ceph-node2
ceph-node3
Unaccepted Keys:
Rejected Keys:
$

3. Finally check calamari dashboard , you should be able to view the Ceph cluster.
