+   following form:
+
+   .. prompt:: bash $
+
+      cephadm bootstrap --mon-ip {monitor IP address} --skip-monitoring-stack
+
+   This command should result in a successfully-deployed cluster. Expand the

+   ``ceph-exporter`` by running the following commands:
+
+   .. prompt:: bash $

+      ceph orch apply grafana
+      ceph orch apply node-exporter
+      ceph orch apply alertmanager
+
+   This error occurs because some Quincy releases contain a faulty
+   ``ceph-exporter``. After this fault was discovered, ``ceph-exporter`` was
+   removed from Quincy. If your binary of ``cephadm`` is from the release with
+   the fault, you will hit this error.
