# 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.
