MinIO server exposes monitoring data over endpoints. Monitoring tools can pick the data from these endpoints. This document lists the monitoring endpoints and relevant documentation.

## Healthcheck Probe

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`

so you can perpetually expand your clusters as needed.  When you restart, it is immediate and non-disruptive to the applications. Each group of servers in the command-line is called a pool. There are 2 server pools in this example. New objects are placed in server pools in proportion to the amount of free space in each pool. Within each pool, the location of the erasure-set of drives is determined based on a deterministic hashing algorithm.

> **NOTE:** **Each pool you add must have the same...

backend drives. Matching files will be collected in a zip file with their respective host+drive+path. A MinIO host from October 2021 or later is required for full functionality. Syntax is `mc support inspect ALIAS/path/to/files`. This can for example be used to collect `xl.meta` from objects that are misbehaving. To collect `xl.meta` from a specific object, for example placed at `ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt` append `/xl.meta`, for instance `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt/xl.meta`. All...
