Ceph Monitor Architecture Analysis Monitor Overall Architecture Overview Core Functional Positioning Ceph Monitor serves as the control plane of the cluster, primarily responsible for the following core duties:
Cluster Map Maintenance: Managing key mapping information including MonitorMap, OSDMap, CRUSHMap, MDSMap, PGMap, etc. Status Monitoring & Health Checks: Real-time monitoring of cluster status and generating health reports Distributed Consistency Guarantee: Ensuring cluster metadata consistency across all nodes based on Paxos algorithm Authentication & Authorization: Managing CephX authentication system and user permissions Election & Arbitration: Maintaining Monitor quorum and handling failure recovery Monitor Architecture Diagram 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 graph TB subgraph "Ceph Monitor Core Architecture" A[Monitor Daemon] --> B[MonitorStore] A --> C[Paxos Engine] A --> D[Election Module] A --> E[Health Module] A --> F[Config Module] A --> G[Auth Module] B --> B1[ClusterMap Storage] B --> B2[Configuration DB] B --> B3[Transaction Log] C --> C1[Proposal Processing] C --> C2[Leader Election] C --> C3[Consensus Coordination] D --> D1[Connectivity Strategy] D --> D2[Quorum Management] D --> D3[Split-brain Prevention] E --> E1[Health Checks] E --> E2[Status Reporting] E --> E3[Alert Generation] F --> F1[Config Key-Value Store] F --> F2[Runtime Configuration] F --> F3[Config Distribution] G --> G1[CephX Authentication] G --> G2[User Management] G --> G3[Capability Control] end subgraph "External Interactions" H[OSD Daemons] --> A I[MDS Daemons] --> A J[Client Applications] --> A K[Admin Tools] --> A L[Dashboard/Grafana] --> A end Monitor Core Submodule Analysis MonitorStore Storage Engine Functional Overview: MonitorStore is the persistent storage engine of Monitor, implemented based on RocksDB, responsible for storing all critical cluster metadata.
