A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 
From that individual connections will be spawned to each remote server, 
or incoming requests will be hooked up to the appropriate connection.

To get a connection to a specific server, use `Manager.Connection(host)` to get a connection to the specified host.
From this connection individual requests can be made.

[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) is a cloud-native monitoring platform. Prometheus offers a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs. The data collection happens via a pull model over HTTP/HTTPS. Users looking to monitor their MinIO instances can point Prometheus configuration to scrape data from following endpoints. 

MINIO_NOTIFY_POSTGRES_MAX_OPEN_CONNECTIONS (number)             maximum number of open connections to the database, defaults to '2'
```

> NOTE: If the `max_open_connections` key or the environment variable `MINIO_NOTIFY_POSTGRES_MAX_OPEN_CONNECTIONS` is set to `0`, There will be no limit set on the number of

MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_SERVER_INSECURE          (on|off)    allow plain text connection to AD/LDAP server, defaults to "off"
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_SERVER_STARTTLS          (on|off)    use StartTLS connection to AD/LDAP server, defaults to "off"
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_COMMENT                  (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

# Cluster Metrics

MinIO collects the following metrics at the cluster level.
Metrics may include one or more labels, such as the server that calculated that metric.

These metrics can be obtained from any MinIO server once per collection by using the following URL:

```shell
https://HOSTNAME:PORT/minio/v2/metrics/cluster
```

Replace ``HOSTNAME:PORT`` with the hostname of your MinIO deployment.

## Metrics Request Handling

Each endpoint below can be queried at different intervals as needed via a scrape configuration in Prometheus or a compatible metrics collection tool.

For ease of configuration, each (non-empty) parent of the path serves all metric endpoints that are at descendant paths. For example, to query all system metrics one needs to only scrape `/minio/metrics/v3/system/`.
