Disabling the Ceph Dashboard

Red Hat recommends leaving the dashboard_enabled option set to True in the group_vars/all.yml file, and not changing it to False. However, if the user wants to disable the dashboard, follow the steps below:

1. Change to the /usr/share/ceph-ansible/ directory:

   [ansible@admin ~]$ cd /usr/share/ceph-ansible/
   

2. Open for editing the group_vars/all.yml file.

3. Uncomment dashboard_enabled:True line.

4. Set the dashboard_enabled to False.

5. Save the file.

6. Run the appropriate Ansible playbook.

   • For Bare-metal deployments:

     [ansible@admin ceph-ansible]$ ansible-playbook site.yml
     

   • For Container deployments:

     [ansible@admin ceph-ansible]$ ansible-playbook site-docker.yml
     

7. Verify that the Dashboard is not installed.
