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

## Prerequisites

To get started with MinIO, refer [MinIO QuickStart Document](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).
Follow below steps to get started with MinIO monitoring using Prometheus.

### 1. Download Prometheus

| `minio_system_drive_free_bytes`                | `gauge`   | Total storage free on a drive in bytes                             | `drive,set_index,drive_index,pool_index,server`     |
| `minio_system_drive_total_bytes`               | `gauge`   | Total storage available on a drive in bytes                        | `drive,set_index,drive_index,pool_index,server`     |

Typically, enabling compression on spinning disk systems
will increase speed when the content can be compressed.

## Get Started

### 1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).

### 2. Run MinIO with compression

Compression can be enabled by updating the `compress` config settings for MinIO server config.
