This document discusses the history and development of the Ceph Dashboard tool. It describes the limitations of the original Dashboard v1 and the goals for the new Dashboard v2, which uses an Angular frontend and modular Python backend. Dashboard v2 aims to provide full management and monitoring capabilities for Ceph clusters in a web UI, addressing the limitations of the previous version.
