+Using the Admin Socket
+======================
+
+The Ceph admin socket allows you to query a daemon via a socket interface. 
+By default, Ceph sockets reside under ``/var/run/ceph``. To access a socket, 
+use the following command:: 
+
+	ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/{socket-name}
+
+To view the available admin socket commands, execute the following command:: 
+
+	ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/{socket-name} help
+
+The admin socket command enables you to show and set your configuration at
+runtime. See `Viewing a Configuration at Runtime`_ for details.
