## MinIO Grafana Dashboard

Visualize MinIO metrics with our official Grafana dashboard available on the [Grafana dashboard portal](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13502).

Refer to the dashboard [json file here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/minio-dashboard.json).

 * Connection pooling reduces request latency (if HTTP/2 isn’t available).
 * Transparent GZIP shrinks download sizes.
 * Response caching avoids the network completely for repeat requests.

OkHttp perseveres when the network is troublesome: it will silently recover from common connection
problems. If your service has multiple IP addresses, OkHttp will attempt alternate addresses if the

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).
Follow below steps to get started with MinIO monitoring using Prometheus.

### 1. Download Prometheus

and replaced with those of `initial`. From the repo root:

    > cd doc
    > rm -r next/*
    > cp -r initial/* next

Then edit `next/1-intro.md` to refer to the next version.

To prepare the release notes for a release, run `golang.org/x/build/cmd/relnote generate`.

  - If there are any errors, read the error and fix your code.
  - IMPORTANT NOTE: if the first import fails, you have to select and apply `Synchronization disabled`, then repeat the step above.
    Otherwise, TeamCity complains "Can't find the previous revision, please commit current settings first".

For example, an 16-server distributed setup with 200 drives per node would continue serving files, up to 4 servers can be offline in default configuration i.e around 800 drives down MinIO would continue to read and write objects.
