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

## Quick Start

- Less than N/2, if `STANDARD` parity is not set.
- Less than `STANDARD` Parity, if it is set.

Default value for `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` storage class is `1`.

## Get started with Storage Class

### Set storage class

The format to set storage class environment variables is as follows

`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD=EC:parity`
`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:parity`

| `minio_node_scanner_bucket_scans_finished` | Total number of bucket scans finished since server start.   |
| `minio_node_scanner_bucket_scans_started`  | Total number of bucket scans started since server start.    |
| `minio_node_scanner_directories_scanned`   | Total number of directories scanned since server start.     |

compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.
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

## Get started

If you're aware of stand-alone MinIO set up, the process remains largely the same. MinIO server automatically switches to stand-alone or distributed mode, depending on the command line parameters.

### 1. Prerequisites

the KES CLI once you have successfully setup KES:

```sh
kes key create my-minio-key OSMM+vkKUTCvQs9YL/CVMIMt43HFhkUpqJxTmGl6rYw=
```

- For instructions on setting up KES, see the [KES Getting Started guide](https://github.com/minio/kes/wiki/Getting-Started)

```

## Test MinIO Connectivity

### Test using MinIO Console

MinIO Server comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to <http://127.0.0.1:9000> to ensure your server has started successfully.

> NOTE: MinIO runs console on random port by default, if you wish to choose a specific port use `--console-address` to pick a specific interface and port.
