- MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default which is bucket centric as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/v2/metrics/bucket`.

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).

          └────────────┘                                        │   KMS   │
                                                                └─────────┘
```

In a given setup, there are `n` MinIO instances talking to `m` KES servers but only `1` central KMS. The most simple setup consists of `1` MinIO server or cluster talking to `1` KMS via `1` KES server.

## Creating a hotfix branch

Customers in MinIO are allowed LTS on any release they choose to standardize. Production setups seldom change and require maintenance. Hotfix branches are such maintenance branches that allow customers to operate a production cluster without drastic changes to their deployment.

## Backporting a fix

- Acquire TLS certificates, either from a CA or [create self-signed certificates](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/network-encryption.html).

func TestGetObjectInfo(t *testing.T) {
	ExecObjectLayerTest(t, testGetObjectInfo)
}

// Testing GetObjectInfo().
func testGetObjectInfo(obj ObjectLayer, instanceType string, t TestErrHandler) {

		echo "my content" | /tmp/mc pipe myminio/testbucket/file-$i
	done
}

function perform_test() {
	start_port=$2

	start_minio_3_node 120 $start_port

	echo "Testing Distributed Erasure setup healing of drives"
	echo "Remove the contents of the disks belonging to '${1}' node"

	rm -rf ${WORK_DIR}/${1}/*/

	set -x
	start_minio_3_node 120 $start_port

	check_heal ${1}
	rv=$?

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 
From that individual connections will be spawned to each remote server,
