# 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

## Healthcheck Probe

MinIO server has two healthcheck related un-authenticated endpoints, a liveness probe to indicate if server is responding, cluster probe to check if server can be taken down for maintenance.

- Liveness probe available at `/minio/health/live`
- Cluster probe available at `/minio/health/cluster`

	healthCheckClusterPath     = "/cluster"
	healthCheckClusterReadPath = "/cluster/read"
	healthCheckPathPrefix      = minioReservedBucketPath + healthCheckPath
)

// registerHealthCheckRouter - add handler functions for liveness and readiness routes.
func registerHealthCheckRouter(router *mux.Router) {
	// Healthcheck router
	healthRouter := router.PathPrefix(healthCheckPathPrefix).Subrouter()

	// Cluster check handler to verify cluster is active

## Monitoring MinIO in Kubernetes

MinIO server exposes un-authenticated liveness endpoints so Kubernetes can natively identify unhealthy MinIO containers. MinIO also exposes Prometheus compatible data on a different endpoint to enable Prometheus users to natively monitor their MinIO deployments.
