[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture.

## Prerequisites

- Prometheus and MinIO configured as explained in [document here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).

- MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/v2/metrics/cluster`. 

| IMPORTANT |
| -------------------------- |

and furthermore provides reuse of the structs used for the request and response.

Note that Responses sent for serialization are automatically reused for similar requests.
If the response contains shared data it will cause issues, since each unique response is reused.
To disable this behavior, use `(SingleHandler).WithSharedResponse()` to disable it.

## Streaming Requests

- [Understand the KES server concepts](https://github.com/minio/kes/wiki/Concepts)

## Auto Encryption

Auto-Encryption is useful when MinIO administrator wants to ensure that all data stored on MinIO is encrypted at rest.

### Using `mc encrypt` (recommended)

- Bucket notification configuration
- Bucket lifecycle (ILM) configuration

## Pre-requisites

- Initially, only **one** of the sites added for replication may have data. After site-replication is successfully configured, this data is replicated to the other (initially empty) sites. Subsequently, objects may be written to any of the sites, and they will be replicated to all other sites.

the bucket and object name of an object that exists in MinIO. The value is JSON encoded event data about the operation that created/replaced the object in MinIO. When objects are updated or deleted, the corresponding row from this table is updated or deleted respectively.

When the _access_ format is used, MinIO appends events to a table. It creates rows with two columns: event_time and event_data. The event_time is the time at which the event occurred in the MinIO server. The event_data...

> NOTE: To deploy MinIO on with persistent storage, you must map local persistent directories from the host OS to the container using the `podman -v` option. For example, `-v /mnt/data:/data` maps the host OS drive at `/mnt/data` to `/data` on the container.

## macOS

Use the following commands to run a standalone MinIO server on macOS.

# MinIO Monitoring Guide

MinIO server exposes monitoring data over endpoints. Monitoring tools can pick the data from these endpoints. This document lists the monitoring endpoints and relevant documentation.

## 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.
