# OPA Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)

OPA is a lightweight general-purpose policy engine that can be co-located with MinIO server, in this document we talk about how to use OPA HTTP API to authorize requests. It can be used with any type of credentials (STS based like OpenID or LDAP, regular IAM users or service accounts).

OPA is enabled through MinIO's Access Management Plugin feature.

## Get started

## Publish MinIO events via AMQP

Install RabbitMQ from [here](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).

### Step 1: Add AMQP endpoint to MinIO

The AMQP configuration is located under the sub-system `notify_amqp` top-level key. Create a configuration key-value pair here for your AMQP instance. The key is a name for your AMQP endpoint, and the value is a collection of key-value parameters described in the table below.

- This API behavior is limited for following **read** operations on files inside a zip archive:
  - `HeadObject`
  - `GetObject`
  - `ListObjectsV2`
- If the ZIP file directory isn't located within the last 100MB the file will not be parsed.
- A maximum of 100M inside a single zip is allowed. However, a reasonable limit of 100,000 files inside a single ZIP archive is recommended for best performance and memory usage trade-off.

Wildcards can be used, for example `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/**/xl.meta` will collect all `xl.meta` recursively. `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt/*/part.*` will collect parts for all versions for the object located at `bucket/path/to/file.txt`.

`xl-meta` accepts zip files as input and will output all `xl.meta` files found within the archive. For example:

```
$ mc support inspect play/test123/test*/xl.meta
