# 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

### 2. Configure authentication type for Prometheus metrics

MinIO supports two authentication modes for Prometheus either `jwt` or `public`, by default MinIO runs in `jwt` mode. To allow public access without authentication for prometheus metrics set environment as follows.

```
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE="public"
minio server ~/test
```

### 3. Configuring Prometheus

capability.

The following example grabs the last 10 `kubelet` logs containing the string "cmdAdd" in the log message.

```console
$ gcloud logging read "resource.type=k8s_node AND jsonPayload.SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=kubelet AND jsonPayload.MESSAGE:cmdAdd" --limit 10 --format json
```

## Other Reference

The framework for this implementation of the CNI plugin is based on the

Deploying a Gateway to be used as an [Egress Gateway](https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/egress-gateway/):

```yaml
service:
  # Egress gateways do not need an external LoadBalancer IP
  type: ClusterIP
```

#### Multi-network/VM Gateway

Deploying a Gateway to be used as a [Multi-network Gateway](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/install/multicluster/) for network `network-1`:

```yaml

```
ftp localhost -P 8021
Connected to localhost.
220 Welcome to MinIO FTP Server
Name (localhost:user): minioadmin
331 User name ok, password required
Password:
230 Password ok, continue
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls runner/
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||39155|)
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list

- A maximum of 100M inside a single zip is allowed. However, a reasonable limit of 100,000 files inside a single ZIP archive is recommended for best performance and memory usage trade-off.

## Content-Type

```bash
~ mc admin config set myminio compression
```

To enable compression for all content, no matter the extension and content type
(except for the default excluded types) set BOTH extensions and mime types to empty.

```bash
~ mc admin config set myminio compression enable="on" extensions="" mime_types=""
```

The compression settings may also be set through environment variables.

We'll explain everything via an example. Let's say you make some changes on your branch `myTestBranch`
(we highly recommend to name this branch without prefix and hyphen (`-`) because it's used to generate build type ID) and want to
test these changes without affecting `master`/`release` pipeline. Here are the instructions.
