+=================================
+ ceph-mon -- ceph monitor daemon
+=================================
+
+.. program:: ceph-mon
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **ceph-mon** -i *monid* [ --mon-data *mondatapath* ]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**ceph-mon** is the cluster monitor daemon for the Ceph distributed
+file system. One or more instances of **ceph-mon** form a Paxos
+part-time parliament cluster that provides extremely reliable and
+durable storage of cluster membership, configuration, and state.
+
+The *mondatapath* refers to a directory on a local file system storing
+monitor data. It is normally specified via the ``mon data`` option in
+the configuration file.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+.. option:: -f, --foreground
+
+   Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do
+   not generate a pid file. Useful when run via :doc:`ceph-run <ceph-run>`\(8).
+
+.. option:: -d
+
+   Debug mode: like ``-f``, but also send all log output to stderr.
+
+.. option:: --setuser userorgid
+
+   Set uid after starting.  If a username is specified, the user
+   record is looked up to get a uid and a gid, and the gid is also set
+   as well, unless --setgroup is also specified.
+
+.. option:: --setgroup grouporgid
+
+   Set gid after starting.  If a group name is specified the group
+   record is looked up to get a gid.
+
+.. option:: -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
+
+   Use *ceph.conf* configuration file instead of the default
+   ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` to determine monitor addresses during
+   startup.
+
+.. option:: --mkfs
+
+   Initialize the ``mon data`` directory with seed information to form
+   and initial ceph file system or to join an existing monitor
+   cluster.  Three pieces of information must be provided:
+
+   - The cluster fsid.  This can come from a monmap (``--monmap <path>``) or
+     explicitly via ``--fsid <uuid>``.
+   - A list of monitors and their addresses.  This list of monitors
+     can come from a monmap (``--monmap <path>``), the ``mon host``
+     configuration value (in *ceph.conf* or via ``-m
+     host1,host2,...``), or (for backward compatibility) the deprecated ``mon addr`` lines in *ceph.conf*.  If this
+     monitor is to be part of the initial monitor quorum for a new
+     Ceph cluster, then it must be included in the initial list,
+     matching either the name or address of a monitor in the list.
+     When matching by address, either the ``public addr`` or ``public
+     subnet`` options may be used.
+   - The monitor secret key ``mon.``.  This must be included in the
+     keyring provided via ``--keyring <path>``.
+
+.. option:: --keyring
+
+   Specify a keyring for use with ``--mkfs``.
+
+.. option:: --no-config-file
+
+    Signal that we don't want to rely on a *ceph.conf*, either user provided
+    or the default, to run the daemon.  This will entail providing all
+    necessary options to the daemon as arguments.
+
+Availability
+============
+
+**ceph-mon** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer
+to the Ceph documentation at https://docs.ceph.com for more
+information.
