- 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).

- 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.

### 3. Compression + Encryption

Combining encryption and compression is not safe in all setups.
This is particularly so if the compression ratio of your content reveals information about it.
See [CRIME TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME) as an example of this.

Therefore, compression is disabled when encrypting by default, and must be enabled separately.
