gdash - GlusterFS Dashboard

gdash is a super-young project, which shows gluster volume informations from local, remote clusters. This app is based on gluster's capability of executing gluster volume info and gluster volume status commands for a remote server using --remote-host option.

If you can run gluster volume info --remote-host=<HOST_NAME>, then you can monitor that cluster using gdash. Make sure you allow to access glusterd port(24007) for the machine where you will run gdash.

To install,

sudo pip install gdash

gdash home screen

gdash Volume details page

Usage

Usecase 1 - Local Volumes

Just run sudo gdash, gdash starts running in port 8080. visit http://localhost:8080 to view gluster volumes of local machine.

Usecase 2 - Remote Volumes

Run sudo gdash --host 192.168.1.6, visit http://localhost:8080 to view gluster volume information of remote host. Dashboard shows all the volumes which are part of that remote host.

Usecase 3 - Multiple clusters

Create a clusters.conf file as example shown below, specify atleast one host from each cluster.

[clusters]
cluster1 = host1, host2, host3
cluster2 = host4, host5, host6

Run gdash using,

sudo gdash --clusters ~/clusters.conf

Usecase 4 - Multiple teams

If two teams monitoring two clusters and if you don't want to share the other cluster details then, just run below commands in two terminals and give respective URL to each team. Other solution is create two seperate config files and run it seperately for different ports.

# Team 1, who monitors cluster1 http://localhost:8001
sudo gdash -p 8001 --clusters ~/clusters.conf --limit-cluster cluster1

# Team 2, who monitors cluster2 http://localhost:8002
sudo gdash -p 8002 --clusters ~/clusters.conf --limit-cluster cluster2

Available Options

usage: gdash [-h] [--port PORT] [--cache CACHE] [--debug] [--host HOST]
             [--clusters CLUSTERS] [--limit-cluster LIMIT_CLUSTER]
