### Step 3: Test on Redis

Start the `redis-cli` Redis client program to inspect the contents in Redis. Run the `monitor` Redis command. This prints each operation performed on Redis as it occurs.

```
redis-cli -a yoursecret
127.0.0.1:6379> monitor
OK
```

Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into `images` bucket.

```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```

`<Address for MinIO Node>/minio/v2/metrics/resource`.

To use this endpoint, setup Prometheus to scrape data from this endpoint. Read more on how to configure and use Prometheus to monitor MinIO server in [How to monitor MinIO server with Prometheus](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).
