Feature #43956
Updated by Tatjana Dehler about 4 years ago
This is a follow-up to #36488, which added a way to configure the telemetry mgr plugin, but does not really provide an easy workflow or the option to review the generated report beforehand. This issue requests to make this feature more user-visible and encourage the user to enable it.
Upon a fresh cluster installation, it should be possible for the user to "opt in" and enable the "telemetry plugin":http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/mgr/telemetry/ so we can obtain some metrics and statistics about the user's cluster.
Upon first login of an admin user on a freshly installed cluster, the dashboard should display a prompt that informs the user about the purpose of the metrics collection and should ask the user for confirmation to enable it.
It would be helpful to prompt the user for an email address (optional) and display a sample report of the data that is sent to telemetry.ceph.com.
Even if the user initially rejects the activation, the dashboard should still provide an easy way to enable this plugin later, following the same workflow as outlined above.
Also it might be sensible to re-ask the admin if he wants to activate the plugin after a major update?
