Glusterfs, while being a nice distributed filesystem, provides almost no way to monitor it's integrity. Servers can come and go, bricks might get stale or fail and I afraid to know about that when it is probably too late.

Recently we had an strange failure when everything appeared working, but one brick fell out from the volume (found by pure coincidence).

Is there a simple and reliable way (cron script?) that will let me know about health status of my GlusterFS 3.2 volume?

For now we use an dirty shell script based monitoring: check_gluster.sh – Arie Skliarouk Aug 1 '11 at 16:56
Have a look at glfs-health.sh. – quanta Aug 1 '11 at 17:12
I checked the glfs-health.sh and it looks like it is for old versions of glusterfs, which were configuration-file controlled. I will clarify my question to represent glusterfs 3.2. – Arie Skliarouk Aug 3 '11 at 13:34

look at Zenoss, it seems to be a good tool for monitoring virtual or cloud infrastructure.
