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

This document explains how to setup Prometheus and configure it to scrape data from MinIO servers.

## Prerequisites

```
--ftp="tls-private-key=path/to/private.key" --ftp="tls-public-cert=path/to/public.crt"
```

> NOTE: if MinIO distributed setup is already configured to run under TLS, FTP will automatically use the relevant
> 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.

- ListObjectsV2 API calls must be used to list zip file content.
- Range requests for GetObject/HeadObject for individual files from zip is not supported.
- Names inside ZIP files are kept unmodified, but some may lead to invalid paths. See [Object key naming guidelines](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-keys.html) on safe names.

 | `application/x-gzip`     |
 | `application/zip`        |
 | `application/x-bz2`      |
 | `application/x-compress` |
 | `application/x-xz`       |

All files with these extensions and mime types are excluded from compression,
even if compression is enabled for all types.

## To test the setup

To test this setup, practice put calls to the server using `mc` and use `mc ls` on
the data directory to view the size of the object.
