## MinIO Grafana Dashboard

Visualize MinIO metrics with our official Grafana dashboard available on the [Grafana dashboard portal](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13502).

Refer to the dashboard [json file here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/minio-dashboard.json).

```sh
tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz
cd prometheus-*
```

Prometheus server is a single binary called `prometheus` (or `prometheus.exe` on Microsoft Windows). Run the binary and pass `--help` flag to see available options

```sh
./prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<flags>]

The Prometheus monitoring server

```

helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml minio/minio
```

### Persistence

This chart provisions a PersistentVolumeClaim and mounts corresponding persistent volume to default location `/export`. You'll need physical storage available in the Kubernetes cluster for this to work. If you'd rather use `emptyDir`, disable PersistentVolumeClaim by:

```bash
helm install --set persistence.enabled=false minio/minio
```

```

MinIO supports all the exchanges available in [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/). For this setup, we are using `fanout` exchange.

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.

- Liveness probe available at `/minio/health/live`
- Cluster probe available at `/minio/health/cluster`

Read more on how to use these endpoints in [MinIO healthcheck guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/healthcheck/README.md).

## Prometheus Probe

streaming compression due to its stability and performance.

This algorithm is specifically optimized for machine generated content.
Write throughput is typically at least 500MB/s per CPU core,
and scales with the number of available CPU cores.
Decompression speed is typically at least 1GB/s.

This means that in cases where raw IO is below these numbers
compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.

## Why distributed MinIO?

MinIO in distributed mode can help you setup a highly-available storage system with a single object storage deployment. With distributed MinIO, you can optimally use storage devices, irrespective of their location in a network.
