Grafana <https://grafana.com/> is the web frontend for creating the graphs.

InfluxDB <https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/> holds the 
time series data that Grafana pulls from.

To collect data, I am using collectd 
<https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Ceph> daemons running on each ceph 
node (mon,mds,osd), as this was my initial way of ingesting metrics.
I am also now using the influx plugin in ceph-mgr 
<http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/mgr/influx/> to have ceph-mgr directly 
report statistics to InfluxDB.

I know two other popular methods of collecting data are Telegraf 
<https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/telegraf/> and Prometheus 
<https://prometheus.io/>, both of which are popular, both of which have 
ceph-mgr plugins as well here <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/mgr/telegraf/> 
and here <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/mgr/prometheus/>.
Influx Data also has a Grafana like graphing front end Chronograf 
<https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/chronograf/>, which some 
prefer to Grafana.

Hopefully thats enough to get you headed in the right direction.
I would recommend not going down the CollectD path, as the project doesn't move 
as quickly as Telegraf and Prometheus, and the majority of the metrics I am 
pulling from these days are provided from the ceph-mgr plugin.

Hope that helps,
Reed
