# How to monitor MinIO server with Grafana [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture.

## Prerequisites

	retry:
	  attempts: 10 # number of retries for the job before giving up
	  delay: "500ms" # least amount of delay between each retry
```

You can create and run multiple 'replication' jobs at a time there are no predefined limits set.

## Batch Jobs Terminology

### Job

            "Expiration": {
                "Days": 7,
                "ExpiredObjectAllVersions": true
            }
        }
    ]
}
```

### 3.3 Automatic removal of delete markers with no other versions

When an object has only one version as a delete marker, the latter can be automatically removed after a certain number of days using the following configuration:

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {

        fmt.Println("Got result", resp)
        // Return the response for reuse
		instance.PutResponse(resp)
        return nil
    })
```

There are handlers for requests with:
 * No input stream: `RegisterNoInput`.
 * No initial payload: `RegisterNoPayload`.

Note that Responses sent for serialization are automatically reused for similar requests.

### Configuring connection (wait) deadline

This value works in conjunction with max connection setting, setting this value allows for long waiting requests to quickly time out when there is no slot available to perform the request.

provide the password via:

```
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_PASSWORD=<your-password>
```

Note that MinIO only supports encrypted private keys - not encrypted certificates.
Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

MINIO_ETCD_CLIENT_CERT_KEY  (path)      client cert key for mTLS authentication
MINIO_ETCD_COMMENT          (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

### API

replication required the root credentials of peer sites to be identical. This is no longer necessary because STS tokens are now signed with the site replicator service account credentials, thus allowing flexibility in the independent management of root accounts across sites and the ability to disable root accounts eventually.

However, this means that STS tokens signed previously by root credentials will no longer be valid upon upgrading to the latest version with this change. Please re-generate...

| put                 | yes       |
| ls                  | yes       |
| mkdir               | yes       |
| rmdir               | yes       |
| delete              | yes       |
| append              | no        |
| rename              | no        |

MinIO supports following FTP/SFTP based protocols to access and manage data.

- Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) – Defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an

**Note**: On distributed systems, root credentials are recommend to be defined by exporting the `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and  `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` environment variables. If no value is set MinIO setup will assume `minioadmin/minioadmin` as default credentials. If a domain is required, it must be specified by defining and exporting the `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable.
