# How to monitor MinIO server with Grafana [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

[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

In addition, there can be several *static* subroutes used to differentiate between different handlers of the same ID.
A subroute on a client must match a subroute on the server. So routes cannot be used for dynamic routing, unlike HTTP.

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

## Usage

Start MinIO in a distributed setup, with 'ftp/sftp' enabled.

```
minio server http://server{1...4}/disk{1...4}
   --ftp="address=:8021" --ftp="passive-port-range=30000-40000" \
   --sftp="address=:8022" --sftp="ssh-private-key=/home/miniouser/.ssh/id_rsa"
...
...
```

```sh
mc alias set minio1 https://minio1.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword
mc alias set minio2 https://minio2.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword
mc alias set minio3 https://minio3.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword
```

or

```sh
export MC_HOST_minio1=https://adminuser:******@****.***
export MC_HOST_minio2=https://adminuser:******@****.***

```

### Step 3: Test with Thumbnailer

We used [Thumbnailer](https://github.com/minio/thumbnailer) to listen for MinIO notifications when a new JPEG file is uploaded (HTTP PUT). Triggered by a notification, Thumbnailer uploads a thumbnail of new image to MinIO server. To start with, download and install Thumbnailer.

```
git clone https://github.com/minio/thumbnailer/
npm install
```
