### Checking cluster health for maintenance

You may query the cluster probe endpoint to check if the node which received the request can be taken down for maintenance, if the server replies back '412 Precondition Failed' this means you will lose HA. '200 OK' means you are okay to proceed.

```

```

- Add site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate add minio1 minio2 minio3
```

- Once the above command returns success, you may query site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate info minio1
```

** Note **

You can use the Select API to query objects with following features:

- Objects must be in CSV, JSON, or Parquet(*) format.
- UTF-8 is the only encoding type the Select API supports.
