Just for fun, I decided to play.  I built from a clone of your
wip-ceph-mgr branch, then grabbed a ceph.conf and admin keyring from an
existing Jewel cluster, dumped them in build/, and ran:

PYTHONPATH=../src/pybind/mgr
CALAMARI_CONFIG=../src/pybind/mgr/calamari.conf ./bin/ceph-mgr
--keyring=./ceph.client.admin.keyring --log-file=client.log

This immediately aborted with an assertion failure:

  /ceph/src/mgr/Mgr.cc: 241: FAILED assert(mds_cmd.r == 0)

I suspect the "mds metadata" command might want an MDS name.  Throwing
caution to the wind I commented out that assert, and the mon_cmd.r
assert as well (see attached patch), and got a bit further, but then it
failed with:

  ImportError: No module named rest_framework

TL;DR: I had to install pythond-datetime, django 1.8 and
djangorestframework.  The latter I let be the latest version available
via `pip install` (3.3.3).

I had earlier tried Django 1.9, which I randomly happened to have
installed, but that failed with:

RuntimeError(u"Model class django.contrib.auth.models.Permission doesn't
declare an explicit app_label and isn't in an application in
INSTALLED_APPS.",)

(Django 1.6 is no good either, BTW: AttributeError: 'module' object has
no attribute 'UUIDField')

Anyway, after all that, I can in fact get a nice looking chunk of JSON
out of http://localhost:8002/api/v2/cluster/osd :)

Regards,

Tim
