OpenShift Common Issues

Enable Monitoring in the Storage Dashboard

OpenShift Console uses OpenShift Prometheus for monitoring and populating data in Storage Dashboard. Additional configuration is required to monitor the Ceph Cluster from the storage dashboard.

  1. Change the monitoring namespace to openshift-monitoring

    Change the namespace of the RoleBinding rook-ceph-metrics from rook-ceph to openshift-monitoring for the prometheus-k8s ServiceAccount in rbac.yaml.

  2. Enable Ceph Cluster monitoring

    Follow ceph-monitoring/prometheus-alerts.

  3. Set the required label on the namespace

    1
    oc label namespace rook-ceph "openshift.io/cluster-monitoring=true"
