Hi everyone,

I was talking to Dan Hill today, and we noticed that ceph-exporter exists in
plucky and questing and not in noble:

$ rmadison ceph-exporter
 ceph-exporter | 19.2.1-0ubuntu1 | plucky/universe | amd64, arm64, ppc64el, 
riscv64, s390x
 ceph-exporter | 19.2.1-0ubuntu3 | questing/universe | amd64, arm64, ppc64el, 
riscv64, s390x

It seems that this package was introduced in oracular:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/19.2.0~is.really.19.1.0-0ubuntu1

    - d/p/patch-out-exporter.patch: Drop, enable exporter.
    - d/control,ceph-exporter.install: Enable ceph-exporter binary
      package.
    - d/p/ceph-exporter-systemd.patch: Cherry pick commit for ceph-
      exporter systemd configuration.

Dan Hill and I talked about the different exporters in use over the years
including their pros and cons.

* Digital ocean implementation (external), can overrun the MGR causing outages
to the manager, can cause cluster instability, not ideal.
* Then was moved inside the manager, in the mgr-module prometheus. Solved
manager overload issues. However, When there is control plane failure, metrics
stop working, no good.
* Then was moved? to a separate binary / systemd service called ceph-exporter
which when run, disables the mgr-module prometheus. Best solution.

I talked this over with Dan H, and also Christopher Halse Rogers during our SRU
shift. We both came to the same conclusion that ceph-exporter should probably
be fully enabled with proper debian packaging and a systemd service if we are
going to make it work properly.

So, here is what we are going to do.

For noble 19.2.3 and jammy 17.2.9, we will add the debian/control entries for
ceph-exporter, add d/ceph-exporter.install and then likely look at if
d/p/ceph-exporter-systemd.patch is necessary.

Christopher and I rejected 17.2.9 for the time being, and we will enable the
exporter properly in a new upload.

Dan Hill and I will work on the packaging for 19.2.3 tomorrow morning. From
there, lets try and get this uploaded soon.

Luciano, if you don't want this to happen or think it is a bad idea, let us
know.

Thanks,
Matthew
