# How to monitor MinIO server with Prometheus [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) |
||||
|
||||
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) is a cloud-native monitoring platform, built originally at SoundCloud. Prometheus offers a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs. The data collection happens via a pull model over HTTP/HTTPS. Targets to pull data from are discovered via service discovery or static configuration. |
||||
|
||||
MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/prometheus/metrics`. Users looking to monitor their MinIO instances can point Prometheus configuration to scrape data from this endpoint. |
||||
|
||||
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://docs.min.io/docs/minio-quickstart-guide). Follow below steps to get started with MinIO monitoring using Prometheus. |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Download Prometheus |
||||
|
||||
[Download the latest release](https://prometheus.io/download) of Prometheus for your platform, then extract it |
||||
|
||||
```sh |
||||
tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz |
||||
cd prometheus-* |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Prometheus server is a single binary called `prometheus` (or `prometheus.exe` on Microsoft Windows). Run the binary and pass `--help` flag to see available options |
||||
|
||||
```sh |
||||
./prometheus --help |
||||
usage: prometheus [<flags>] |
||||
|
||||
The Prometheus monitoring server |
||||
|
||||
. . . |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Refer [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/first_steps/) for more details. |
||||
|
||||
### 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 |
||||
|
||||
#### 3.1 Authenticated Prometheus config |
||||
|
||||
> If MinIO is configured to expose metrics without authentication, you don't need to use `mc` to generate prometheus config. You can skip reading further and move to 3.2 section. |
||||
|
||||
The Prometheus endpoint in MinIO requires authentication by default. Prometheus supports a bearer token approach to authenticate prometheus scrape requests, override the default Prometheus config with the one generated using mc. To generate a Prometheus config for an alias, use [mc](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide) as follows `mc admin prometheus generate <alias>`. |
||||
|
||||
The command will generate the `scrape_configs` section of the prometheus.yml as follows: |
||||
|
||||
```yaml |
||||
scrape_configs: |
||||
- job_name: minio-job |
||||
bearer_token: <secret> |
||||
metrics_path: /minio/prometheus/metrics |
||||
scheme: http |
||||
static_configs: |
||||
- targets: ['localhost:9000'] |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
#### 3.2 Public Prometheus config |
||||
|
||||
If Prometheus endpoint authentication type is set to `public`. Following prometheus config is sufficient to start scraping metrics data from MinIO. |
||||
|
||||
```yaml |
||||
scrape_configs: |
||||
- job_name: minio-job |
||||
metrics_path: /minio/prometheus/metrics |
||||
scheme: http |
||||
static_configs: |
||||
- targets: ['localhost:9000'] |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Update `scrape_configs` section in prometheus.yml |
||||
|
||||
To authorize every scrape request, copy and paste the generated `scrape_configs` section in the prometheus.yml and restart the Prometheus service. |
||||
|
||||
### 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`. |
||||
|
||||
## List of metrics exposed by MinIO |
||||
|
||||
MinIO server exposes the following metrics on `/minio/prometheus/metrics` endpoint. All of these can be accessed via Prometheus dashboard. The full list of exposed metrics along with their definition is available in the demo server at https://play.min.io:9000/minio/prometheus/metrics |
||||
|
||||
- standard go runtime metrics prefixed by `go_` |
