Bug 2153446

Describe the issue:
Cephadm supports specifying miscellaneous config files for daemons with RHCS 6.0. We need to document this feature.


Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:
Set a custom configuration value on a daemon.

Suggestions for improvement:

See: https://docs.ceph.com/en/quincy/cephadm/services/index.html#custom-config-files

Updated text for Administration guide:

Cephadm supports specifying miscellaneous config files for daemons. To do so, users must provide both the content of the config file and the location within the daemon’s container at which it should be mounted. After applying a YAML spec with custom config files specified and having cephadm redeploy the daemons for which the config files are specified, these files will be mounted within the daemon’s container at the specified location.

Example service spec:

service_type: grafana
service_name: grafana
custom_configs:
  - mount_path: /etc/example.conf
    content: |
      setting1 = value1
      setting2 = value2
  - mount_path: /usr/share/grafana/example.cert
    content: |

To make these new config files actually get mounted within the containers for the daemons

ceph orch redeploy <service-name>
For example:

ceph orch redeploy grafana
