+# Ceph OSD Replacement Analyzer - Project Documentation
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Purpose**: Intelligent analysis tool for identifying optimal Ceph OSD replacement candidates across an entire cluster by analyzing health metrics, capacity optimization potential, and cluster resilience factors.
+
+**Type**: Python 3 CLI tool for Ceph storage cluster maintenance
+
+**Target Users**: Storage administrators, DevOps engineers, and infrastructure teams managing Ceph clusters
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **Data Collection Layer** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:34-172](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L34-L172))
+   - Executes Ceph commands locally and via SSH
+   - Retrieves SMART data from all cluster nodes
+   - Handles both local `ceph device query-daemon-health-metrics` and remote `smartctl` fallback
+   - Device path resolution with dm-device mapping support
+
+2. **Analysis Engine** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:173-357](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L173-L357))
+   - SMART health parsing for HDD and NVMe devices
+   - Capacity optimization scoring
+   - Cluster resilience impact calculation
+   - Multi-factor weighted scoring system
+
+3. **Reporting System** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:361-525](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L361-L525))
+   - Color-coded console output
+   - Top 15 ranked replacement candidates
+   - Summary by device class (HDD/NVMe)
+   - Per-host analysis breakdown
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+**Remote SMART Data Collection**: The script uses SSH to gather SMART data from all cluster nodes, not just the local node. This is critical because OSDs are distributed across multiple physical hosts.
+
+**Fallback Strategy**: Primary method uses `ceph device query-daemon-health-metrics`, with automatic fallback to direct `smartctl` queries via SSH if Ceph's built-in metrics are unavailable.
+
+**Device Mapping**: Handles complex storage configurations including device-mapper devices, resolving them to physical drives using `lsblk` and symlink resolution.
+
+**Weighted Scoring**: 60% health, 30% capacity optimization, 10% resilience - prioritizes failing drives while considering operational efficiency.
+
+## Scoring Algorithm
+
+### Health Score (60% weight)
+
+**HDD Metrics** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:183-236](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L183-L236)):
+- Reallocated sectors (ID 5): -20 points for any presence
+- Spin retry count (ID 10): -15 points
+- Pending sectors (ID 197): -25 points (critical indicator)
+- Uncorrectable sectors (ID 198): -30 points (critical)
+- Temperature (ID 190/194): -10 points if >60°C
+- Age (ID 9): -15 points if >5 years
+
+**NVMe Metrics** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:239-267](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L239-L267)):
+- Available spare: penalized if <50%
+- Percentage used: -30 points if >80%
+- Media errors: -25 points for any errors
+- Temperature: -10 points if >70°C
+
+### Capacity Score (30% weight)
+
+([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:271-311](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L271-L311))
+
+- **Small drives prioritized**: <2TB = +40 points (maximum capacity gain)
+- **Medium drives**: 2-5TB = +30 points, 5-10TB = +15 points
+- **High utilization penalty**: >70% = -15 points (migration complexity)
+- **Host balance bonus**: +15 points if below host average weight
+
+### Resilience Score (10% weight)
+
+([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:313-357](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L313-L357))
+
+- Hosts with >20% above average OSD count: +20 points
+- Presence of down OSDs on same host: +15 points (hardware issues)
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### One-Line Execution (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+sudo python3 -c "import urllib.request; exec(urllib.request.urlopen('http://10.10.10.63:3000/LotusGuild/analyzeOSDs/raw/branch/main/ceph_osd_analyzer.py').read().decode())" --debug --class hdd
+```
+
+**Why**: Always uses latest version, no local installation, integrates easily into automation.
+
+### Command-Line Options
+
+- `--class [hdd|nvme]`: Filter by device type
+- `--min-size N`: Minimum OSD size in TB
+- `--debug`: Enable verbose debugging output
+
+### Typical Workflow
+
+1. Run analysis during maintenance window
+2. Identify top 3-5 candidates with scores >70
+3. Review health issues and capacity gains
+4. Plan replacement based on available hardware
+5. Execute OSD out/destroy/replace operations
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Required Packages
+- Python 3.6+ (standard library only, no external dependencies)
+- `smartmontools` package (`smartctl` binary)
+- SSH access configured between all cluster nodes
+
+### Required Permissions
+- Ceph admin keyring access
+- `sudo` privileges for SMART data retrieval
+- SSH key-based authentication to all OSD hosts
+
+### Ceph Commands Used
+- `ceph osd tree -f json`: Cluster topology
+- `ceph osd df -f json`: Disk usage statistics
+- `ceph osd metadata osd.N -f json`: OSD device information
+- `ceph device query-daemon-health-metrics osd.N`: SMART data
+
+## Output Interpretation
+
+### Replacement Score Ranges
+- **70-100** (RED): Critical - immediate replacement recommended
+- **50-69** (YELLOW): High priority - plan replacement soon
+- **30-49**: Medium priority - next upgrade cycle
+- **0-29** (GREEN): Low priority - healthy drives
+
+### Health Score Ranges
+- **80-100** (GREEN): Excellent condition
+- **60-79** (YELLOW): Monitor for issues
+- **40-59**: Fair - multiple concerns
+- **0-39** (RED): Critical - replace urgently
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+### "No SMART data available"
+- **Cause**: Missing `smartmontools` or insufficient permissions
+- **Solution**: `apt install smartmontools` and verify sudo access
+
+### SSH Timeout Errors
+- **Cause**: Node unreachable or SSH keys not configured
+- **Solution**: Verify connectivity with `ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 <host> hostname`
+
+### Device Path Resolution Failures
+- **Cause**: Non-standard OSD deployment or encryption
+- **Solution**: Enable `--debug` to see device resolution attempts
+
+### dm-device Mapping Issues
+- **Cause**: LVM or LUKS encrypted OSDs
+- **Solution**: Script automatically resolves via `lsblk -no pkname`
+
+## Development Notes
+
+### Code Structure
+- **Single file design**: Easier to execute remotely via `exec()`
+- **Minimal dependencies**: Uses only Python standard library
+- **Color-coded output**: ANSI escape codes for terminal display
+- **Debug mode**: Comprehensive logging when `--debug` enabled
+
+### Notable Functions
+
+**`run_command()`** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:34-56](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L34-L56)): Universal command executor with SSH support and JSON parsing
+
+**`get_device_path_for_osd()`** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:84-122](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L84-L122)): Complex device resolution logic handling metadata, symlinks, and dm-devices
+
+**`get_smart_data_remote()`** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:124-145](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L124-L145)): Remote SMART data collection with device type detection
+
+**`parse_smart_health()`** ([ceph_osd_analyzer.py:173-269](ceph_osd_analyzer.py#L173-L269)): SMART attribute parsing with device-class-specific logic
+
+### Future Enhancement Opportunities
+
+1. **Parallel data collection**: Use threading for faster cluster-wide analysis
+2. **Historical trending**: Track scores over time to predict failures
+3. **JSON output mode**: For integration with monitoring systems
+4. **Cost-benefit analysis**: Factor in replacement drive costs
+5. **PG rebalance impact**: Estimate data movement required
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Permissions Required
+- Root access for `smartctl` execution
+- SSH access to all OSD hosts
+- Ceph admin keyring (read-only sufficient)
+
+### Network Requirements
+- Script assumes SSH connectivity between nodes
+- No outbound internet access required (internal-only tool)
+- Hardcoded internal git server URL: `http://10.10.10.63:3000`
+
+### SSH Configuration
+- Uses `-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no` for automated execution
+- 5-second connection timeout to handle unreachable nodes
+- Assumes key-based authentication is configured
+
+## Related Infrastructure
+
+**Internal Git Server**: `http://10.10.10.63:3000/LotusGuild/analyzeOSDs`
+
+**Related Projects**:
+- hwmonDaemon: Hardware monitoring daemon for continuous health checks
+- Other LotusGuild infrastructure automation tools
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Version Control
+- Maintained in internal git repository
+- One-line execution always pulls from `main` branch
+- No formal versioning; latest commit is production
+
+### Testing Checklist
+- [ ] Test on cluster with mixed HDD/NVMe OSDs
+- [ ] Verify SSH connectivity to all hosts
+- [ ] Confirm SMART data retrieval for both device types
+- [ ] Validate dm-device resolution on encrypted OSDs
+- [ ] Check output formatting with various terminal widths
+- [ ] Test `--class` and `--min-size` filtering
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+**Execution Time**: ~5-15 seconds per OSD depending on cluster size and SSH latency
+
+**Bottlenecks**:
+- Serial OSD processing (parallelization would help)
+- SSH round-trip times for SMART data
+- SMART data parsing can be slow for unresponsive drives
+
+**Resource Usage**: Minimal CPU/memory, I/O bound on SSH operations
+
+**Intended Audience**: LotusGuild infrastructure team
+
+**Support**: Submit issues or pull requests to internal git repository
