## Prerequisites

- Prometheus and MinIO configured as explained in [document here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).
- Grafana installed as explained [here](https://grafana.com/grafana/download).

## MinIO Grafana Dashboard

### Certificate Directory

For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

### 5. Start Prometheus

Start (or) Restart Prometheus service by running

```sh
./prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml
```

Here `prometheus.yml` is the name of configuration file. You can now see MinIO metrics in Prometheus dashboard. By default Prometheus dashboard is accessible at `http://localhost:9090`.

## Prerequisites

Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## Run Standalone MinIO on Docker

```

### Installing certificates from third party CAs

This topic provides commands to set up different configurations of hosts, nodes, and drives. The examples provided here can be used as a starting point for other configurations.

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## Prerequisites

- Install and configure MinIO Server from [here](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).
- Install and configure MinIO Client from [here](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart).

```
$ mc admin config get myminio | grep notify

        </ExcludedPrefixes>

        <!-- .. up to 10 prefixes in all -->
</VersioningConfiguration>
```

### Features

- Objects matching these prefixes will behave as though versioning were suspended. These objects **will not** be replicated if bucket has replication configured.

Existing object replication as detailed [here](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/replicating-existing-objects-between-s3-buckets/) can be enabled by passing `existing-objects` as a value to `--replicate` flag while adding or editing a replication rule.
