## MinIO Grafana Dashboard

Visualize MinIO metrics with our official Grafana dashboard available on the [Grafana dashboard portal](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13502).

Refer to the dashboard [json file here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/minio-dashboard.json).

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

and replaced with those of `initial`. From the repo root:

    > cd doc
    > rm -r next/*
    > cp -r initial/* next

Then edit `next/1-intro.md` to refer to the next version.

To prepare the release notes for a release, run `golang.org/x/build/cmd/relnote generate`.

Object locking requires locking to be enabled on a bucket at the time of bucket creation refer to `mc mb --with-lock`, object locking enables versioning on the bucket and cannot be disabled.

```sh
export MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD=EC:3
export MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:2
```

Storage class can also be set via `mc admin config` get/set commands to update the configuration. Refer [storage class](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/config#storage-class) for
more details.

#### Note

- MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details.

- Helm Chart: MinIO Helm Chart offers customizable and easy MinIO deployment with a single command. Refer [MinIO Helm Chart documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/helm/minio) for more details.

For example, an 16-server distributed setup with 200 drives per node would continue serving files, up to 4 servers can be offline in default configuration i.e around 800 drives down MinIO would continue to read and write objects.
