# MinIO Healthcheck

MinIO server exposes three un-authenticated, healthcheck endpoints liveness probe and a cluster probe at `/minio/health/live` and `/minio/health/cluster` respectively.

## Liveness probe

This probe always responds with '200 OK'. Only fails if 'etcd' is configured and unreachable. When liveness probe fails, Kubernetes like platforms restart the container.

```
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /minio/health/live
    port: 9000

## Configuring Site Replication

- Configure an alias in `mc` for each of the sites. For example if you have three MinIO sites, you may run:

```sh
mc alias set minio1 https://minio1.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword
mc alias set minio2 https://minio2.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword

| inline data    | binary         | Inline data if any, see Inline Data section for encoding.  
| [EOF] | |

## v1.0-v1.2 Versions

`xl.meta` carries three types of object entries which designate the type of version object stored.

- ObjectType (default)
- LegacyObjectType (preserves existing deployments and older xl.json format)

   The root credentials can now be changed easily.

> Does this mean I need an enterprise KMS setup to run MinIO (securely)?

No, MinIO does not depend on any third-party KMS provider. You have three options here:

- Run MinIO without a KMS. In this case all IAM data will be stored in plain-text.
- Run MinIO with a single secret key. MinIO supports a static cryptographic key

// - Model Name of the vendor plus version for statistical analysis.
// - List of Smart Object Storage protocol capabilities supported by the server.
// Currently, there are three capabilities supported:
