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

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

- MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details.

- Creation and deletion of buckets and objects
- Creation and deletion of all IAM users, groups, policies and their mappings to users or groups
- Creation of STS credentials
- Creation and deletion of service accounts (except those owned by the root user)
- Changes to Bucket features such as:
  - Bucket Policies
  - Bucket Tags
  - Bucket Object-Lock configurations (including retention and legal hold configuration)
  - Bucket Encryption configuration

```

MinIO server also supports [NATS Streaming mode](http://nats.io/documentation/streaming/nats-streaming-intro/) that offers additional functionality like `At-least-once-delivery`, and `Publisher rate limiting`. To configure MinIO server to send notifications to NATS Streaming server, update the MinIO server configuration file as follows:

organization = "Example Inc."

# The organizational unit of the subject.
#unit = "sleeping dept."

# The state of the certificate owner.
state = "Example"

# The country of the subject. Two letter code.
country = "EX"

# The common name of the certificate owner.
cn = "Sally Certowner"

# In how many days, counting from today, this certificate will expire.
expiration_days = 365
