Follow below steps to get started with MinIO monitoring using Prometheus.

### 1. Download Prometheus

[Download the latest release](https://prometheus.io/download) of Prometheus for your platform, then extract it

```sh
tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz
cd prometheus-*
```

This feature allows multiple independent MinIO sites (or clusters) that are using the same external IDentity Provider (IDP) to be configured as replicas. In this situation the set of replica sites are referred to as peer sites or just sites. When site-replication is enabled on a set of sites, the following changes are replicated to all other sites:

- Creation and deletion of buckets and objects

ecdh-sha2-nistp521
diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
diffie-hellman-group16-sha512
diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
```

`--sftp=cipher-algos=...` specifies the allowed cipher algorithms. 
If unspecified then a sensible default is used.

Valid values: 
```
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
******@****.***
******@****.***
******@****.***
arcfour256
arcfour128
arcfour

When set, environment variables override the defined `compress` config settings in the server config.

```bash
export MINIO_COMPRESSION_ENABLE="on"
export MINIO_COMPRESSION_EXTENSIONS=".txt,.log,.csv,.json,.tar,.xml,.bin"
export MINIO_COMPRESSION_MIME_TYPES="text/*,application/json,application/xml"
```

> [!NOTE]

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to list, stat and download files inside a ZIP file stored in any bucket. A perfect use case scenario is when you have a lot of small files archived in multiple ZIP files. Uploading them is faster than uploading small files individually. Besides, your S3 applications will be able to access to the data with little performance overhead.
