Ceph is an open-source, distributed object store and file system designed for scalability, reliability, and performance, providing compatibility with S3 and Openstack Swift APIs. While Ceph includes native CLI tools for cluster health checks, production environments require comprehensive monitoring to provide historical and infrastructure-wide context. Datadog offers the ability to correlate Ceph's throughput and latency with other system components, aiding in identifying performance bottlenecks and resource provisioning. With Datadog, users can monitor Ceph at various levels, including cluster-wide metrics, pool-level details, and individual node statuses, helping to prevent issues such as monitor-quorum deadlocks and overloaded or nearly full Object Storage Daemons (OSDs). Additionally, Datadog assists in monitoring apply and commit latencies, ensuring system performance and robustness in data handling. Users can start monitoring Ceph with Datadog quickly, leveraging its features for enhanced operational insights and management.
