- MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default which is bucket centric as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/v2/metrics/bucket`.

This document explains how to setup Prometheus and configure it to scrape data from MinIO servers.

## Prerequisites

To get started with MinIO, refer [MinIO QuickStart Document](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).

	fmt.Println(string(buf))
}
```

It is possible to use an existing buffer with by replacing `New` with `NewBuffer`.


# Blocking vs Non-blocking

The default behavior of the ring buffer is non-blocking, 
meaning that reads and writes will return immediately with an error if the operation cannot be completed.
If you want to block when reading or writing, you must enable it:

```go

- All features currently used by your buckets will work as is without any changes
  - SSE (Server Side Encryption)
  - Replication (Server Side Replication)

## Prerequisites

- It is assumed you have users created and configured with relevant access policies, to start with
  use basic "readwrite" canned policy to test all the operations before you finalize on what level
  of restrictions are needed for a user.
