Would you mind sharing that script?

Ah! Thank you for that pointer.

For the record the same arguments can be used for dry-runs of "ceph osd 
test-reweight-by-utilization ..." 
and correspond to these values in the output from test-reweight-by-utilization:

  oload 120
  max_change 0.05
  max_change_osds 4

The above values are the current defaults in Hammer (0.94.9), but can easily be 
changed to see the impact 
before running the actual rebalance..
