+Ceph Dashboard
+==============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Ceph Dashboard is a built-in web-based Ceph management and monitoring
+application to administer various aspects and objects of the cluster. It is
+implemented as a Ceph Manager module.
+
+Enabling and Starting the Dashboard
+-----------------------------------
+
+If you want to start the dashboard from within a development environment, you
+need to have built Ceph (see the toplevel ``README.md`` file and the `developer
+documentation <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/dev/>`_ for details on how to
+accomplish this.
+
+Finally, you need to build the dashboard frontend code. See the file
+``HACKING.rst`` in this directory for instructions on setting up the necessary
+development environment.
+
+If you use the ``vstart.sh`` script to start up your development cluster, it
+will configure and enable the dashboard automatically. The URL and login
+credentials are displayed when the script finishes.
+
+Please see the `Ceph Dashboard documentation
+<http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/mgr/dashboard/>`_ for details on how to enable
+and configure the dashboard manually and how to configure other settings, e.g.
+access to the Ceph object gateway.
+
+Working on the Dashboard Code
+-----------------------------
+
+If you're interested in helping with the development of the dashboard, please
+see the file ``HACKING.rst`` for details on how to set up a development
+environment and other development-related topics.
