Ceph health check

Weekly Ceph-specific check. Ceph is mostly self-healing, but proactive review catches slow-buildup issues (degraded PGs, failing OSDs, capacity drift).

Notes

  • HEALTH_WARN is acceptable if the cause is known and being addressed
  • HEALTH_ERR requires immediate attention
  • Latency trends are more useful than absolute values
