# 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

MinIO server allows WORM for specific objects or by configuring a bucket with default object lock configuration that applies default retention mode and retention duration to all objects. This makes objects in the bucket immutable i.e. delete of the version are not allowed until an expiry specified in the bucket's object lock configuration or object retention.

When using Veeam Backup and Replication, you can use S3 compatible object storage such as MinIO as a capacity tier for backups.  This disaggregates storage for the Veeam infrastructure and allows you to retain control of your data. With the ease of use of setup and administration of MinIO, it allows a Veeam backup admin to easily deploy their own object store for capacity tiering.

## Prerequisites

# Deploy MinIO on Chrooted Environment [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)

Chroot allows user based namespace isolation on many standard Linux deployments.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [chroot](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/chroot.2.html)
- Chroot installed on your machine.

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
	{
	  "Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
	  "Effect": "Allow",
	  "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::mybucket"],
	  "Condition": {"StringLike": {"s3:prefix": ["${aws:username}/*"]}}
	},
	{
	  "Action": [
		"s3:GetObject",
		"s3:PutObject"
	  ],
	  "Effect": "Allow",
	  "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/${aws:username}/*"]
	}
  ]
}
```

While containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers. MinIO extends this by adding isolated storage environment for each tenant.

HTTP is the way modern applications network. It’s how we exchange data & media. Doing HTTP
efficiently makes your stuff load faster and saves bandwidth.

OkHttp is an HTTP client that’s efficient by default:

 * HTTP/2 support allows all requests to the same host to share a socket.
 * Connection pooling reduces request latency (if HTTP/2 isn’t available).
 * Transparent GZIP shrinks download sizes.

}
```

## 4. Enable ILM transition feature

We use `certificateAuthority(int)` to create certificates that can sign other certificates. The
int specifies how many intermediate certificates are allowed beneath it in the chain.

```java
HeldCertificate rootCertificate = new HeldCertificate.Builder()
    .certificateAuthority(1)
    .build();

HeldCertificate intermediateCertificate = new HeldCertificate.Builder()
