# Vulnerability Management Policy

This document formally describes the process of addressing and managing a
reported vulnerability that has been found in the MinIO server code base,
any directly connected ecosystem component or a direct / indirect dependency
of the code base.

## Scope

The vulnerability management policy described in this document covers the
process of investigating, assessing and resolving a vulnerability report

packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system

A major advantage of certificate-based authentication compared to other STS authentication methods, like OpenID Connect or LDAP/AD, is that client authentication works without any additional/external component that must be constantly available. Therefore, certificate-based authentication may provide better availability / lower operational complexity.

(non-empty) parent of the path serves all metric endpoints that are at descendant paths. For example, to query all system metrics one needs to only scrape `/minio/metrics/v3/system/`.

Some metrics are bucket specific. These will have a `/bucket` component in their path. As the number of buckets can be large, the metrics scrape operation needs to be provided with a specific list of buckets via the `bucket` query parameter. Only metrics for the given buckets will be returned (with the bucket label set)....

# How to configure Prometheus AlertManager

Alerting with prometheus is two step process. First we setup alerts in Prometheus server and then we need to send alerts to the AlertManager.
