Here `prometheus.yml` is the name of configuration file. You can now see MinIO metrics in Prometheus dashboard. By default Prometheus dashboard is accessible at `http://localhost:9090`.

### Configure TLS

To enable TLS for MinIO containers, acquire TLS certificates from a CA or create self-signed certificates. While creating / acquiring certificates ensure the corresponding domain names are set as per the standard [DNS naming conventions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/#pod-identity) in a Kubernetes StatefulSet (for a distributed MinIO setup). Then create a secret using

> certs from the server certificate chain, this is mainly to add simplicity of setup. However if you wish to terminate
> TLS certificates via a different domain for your FTP servers you may choose the above command line options.


### Custom Algorithms (SFTP)

Custom algorithms can be specified via command line parameters.
Algorithms are comma separated. 

- Servers running distributed MinIO instances should be less than 15 minutes apart. You can enable [NTP](http://www.ntp.org/) service as a best practice to ensure same times across servers.
- `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable should be defined and exported for bucket DNS style support.
- Running Distributed MinIO on **Windows** operating system is considered **experimental**. Please proceed with caution.
