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.

subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: prometheus-k8s
  namespace: openshift-monitoring
  1. Enable Ceph Cluster monitoring

    Follow ceph-monitoring/prometheus-alerts.

  2. Set the required label on the namespace

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

Troubleshoot Monitoring Issues

Pre-req: Switch to rook-ceph namespace with oc project rook-ceph

  1. Ensure ceph-mgr pod is Running

     oc get pods -l app=rook-ceph-mgr
    
    NAME            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    rook-ceph-mgr   1/1     Running   0          14h
    
  2. Ensure service monitor is present

     oc get servicemonitor rook-ceph-mgr
    
    NAME                          AGE
    rook-ceph-mgr                 14h
    
  3. Ensure prometheus rules are present

     oc get prometheusrules -l prometheus=rook-prometheus
    
    NAME                    AGE
    prometheus-ceph-rules   14h
