## Prerequisites
* Install and configure Minio Server from [here](http://docs.minio.io/docs/minio).
* Install and configure Minio Client from [here](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide).
## Publish Minio events via AMQP
Install RabbitMQ from [here](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).
### Step 1: Add AMQP endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the AMQP configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```json
"amqp": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"url": "amqp://myuser:mypassword@localhost:5672",
"exchange": "bucketevents",
"routingKey": "bucketlogs",
"exchangeType": "fanout",
"mandatory": false,
"immediate": false,
"durable": false,
"internal": false,
"noWait": false,
"autoDeleted": false
}
}
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. Minio supports all the exchanges available in [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/). For this setup, we are using ``fanout`` exchange.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:amqp``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:amqp --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:amqp s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on RabbitMQ
The python program below waits on the queue exchange ``bucketevents`` and prints event notifications on the console. We use [Pika Python Client](https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-three-python.html) library to do this.
```py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.exchange_declare(exchange='bucketevents',
type='fanout')
result = channel.queue_declare(exclusive=False)
queue_name = result.method.queue
channel.queue_bind(exchange='bucketevents',
queue=queue_name)
print(' [*] Waiting for logs. To exit press CTRL+C')
def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
print(" [x] %r" % body)
channel.basic_consume(callback,
queue=queue_name,
no_ack=False)
channel.start_consuming()
```
Execute this example python program to watch for RabbitMQ events on the console.
```py
python rabbit.py
```
Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
You should receive the following event notification via RabbitMQ once the upload completes.
```py
python rabbit.py
‘{“Records”:[{“eventVersion”:”2.0",”eventSource”:”aws:s3",”awsRegion”:”us-east-1",”eventTime”:”2016–09–08T22:34:38.226Z”,”eventName”:”s3:ObjectCreated:Put”,”userIdentity”:{“principalId”:”minio”},”requestParameters”:{“sourceIPAddress”:”10.1.10.150:44576"},”responseElements”:{},”s3":{“s3SchemaVersion”:”1.0",”configurationId”:”Config”,”bucket”:{“name”:”images”,”ownerIdentity”:{“principalId”:”minio”},”arn”:”arn:aws:s3:::images”},”object”:{“key”:”myphoto.jpg”,”size”:200436,”sequencer”:”147279EAF9F40933"}}}],”level”:”info”,”msg”:””,”time”:”2016–09–08T15:34:38–07:00"}\n
```
## Publish Minio events via Elasticsearch
Install Elasticsearch 2.4 from [here](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-2-4-0).
## Recipe steps
### Step 1: Add Elasticsearch endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the Elasticsearch configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```json
"elasticsearch": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:9200",
"index": "bucketevents"
}
},
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. ``bucketevents`` is the index used by Elasticsearch.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted from ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:elasticsearch``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:elasticsearch --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:elasticsearch s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on Elasticsearch
Upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket, this is the bucket which has been configured for event notification.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
Run ``curl`` to see new index name ``bucketevents`` in your Elasticsearch setup.
```
curl -XGET '127.0.0.1:9200/_cat/indices?v'
health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open bucketevents 5 1 1 0 7.8kb 7.8kb
```
Use curl to view contents of ``bucketevents`` index.
```
curl -XGET '127.0.0.1:9200/bucketevents/_search?pretty=1'
{
"took" : 3,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 1,
"max_score" : 1.0,
"hits" : [ {
"_index" : "bucketevents",
"_type" : "event",
"_id" : "AVcRVOlwe-uNB1tfj6bx",
"_score" : 1.0,
"_source" : {
"Records" : [ {
"eventVersion" : "2.0",
"eventSource" : "aws:s3",
"awsRegion" : "us-east-1",
"eventTime" : "2016-09-09T23:42:39.977Z",
"eventName" : "s3:ObjectCreated:Put",
"userIdentity" : {
"principalId" : "minio"
},
"requestParameters" : {
"sourceIPAddress" : "10.1.10.150:52140"
},
"responseElements" : { },
"s3" : {
"s3SchemaVersion" : "1.0",
"configurationId" : "Config",
"bucket" : {
"name" : "images",
"ownerIdentity" : {
"principalId" : "minio"
},
"arn" : "arn:aws:s3:::images"
},
"object" : {
"key" : "myphoto.jpg",
"size" : 200436,
"sequencer" : "1472CC35E6971AF3"
}
}
} ]
}
} ]
}
}
```
``curl`` output above states that an Elasticsearch index has been successfully created with notification contents.
## Publish Minio events via Redis
Install Redis from [here](http://redis.io/download).
### Step 1: Add Redis endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the Redis configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```json
"redis": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"address": "127.0.0.1:6379",
"password": "yoursecret",
"key": "bucketevents"
}
}
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. ``bucketevents`` is the key used by Redis in this example.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted from ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:redis``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:redis --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:redis s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on Redis
Redis comes with a handy command line interface ``redis-cli`` to print all notifications on the console.
```
redis-cli -a yoursecret
```
Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
``redis-cli`` prints event notification to the console.
```
redis-cli -a yoursecret
127.0.0.1:6379> monitor
OK
1474321638.556108 [0 127.0.0.1:40190] "AUTH" "yoursecret"
1474321638.556477 [0 127.0.0.1:40190] "RPUSH" "bucketevents" "{\"Records\":[{\"eventVersion\":\"2.0\",\"eventSource\":\"aws:s3\",\"awsRegion\":\"us-east-1\",\"eventTime\":\"2016-09-19T21:47:18.555Z\",\"eventName\":\"s3:ObjectCreated:Put\",\"userIdentity\":{\"principalId\":\"minio\"},\"requestParameters\":{\"sourceIPAddress\":\"[::1]:39250\"},\"responseElements\":{},\"s3\":{\"s3SchemaVersion\":\"1.0\",\"configurationId\":\"Config\",\"bucket\":{\"name\":\"images\",\"ownerIdentity\":{\"principalId\":\"minio\"},\"arn\":\"arn:aws:s3:::images\"},\"object\":{\"key\":\"myphoto.jpg\",\"size\":23745,\"sequencer\":\"1475D7B80ECBD853\"}}}],\"level\":\"info\",\"msg\":\"\",\"time\":\"2016-09-19T14:47:18-07:00\"}\n"
```
## Publish Minio events via NATS
Install NATS from [here](http://nats.io/).
### Step 1: Add NATS endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the NATS configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```
"nats": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"address": "0.0.0.0:4222",
"subject": "bucketevents",
"username": "yourusername",
"password": "yoursecret",
"token": "",
"secure": false,
"pingInterval": 0
}
},
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. ``bucketevents`` is the subject used by NATS in this example.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted from ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:nats``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:nats --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:nats s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on NATS
Using this program below we can log the bucket notification added to NATS.
```go
package main
// Import Go and NATS packages
import (
"log"
"runtime"
"github.com/nats-io/nats"
)
func main() {
// Create server connection
natsConnection, _ := nats.Connect("nats://yourusername:yoursecret@localhost:4222")
log.Println("Connected")
// Subscribe to subject
log.Printf("Subscribing to subject 'bucketevents'\n")
natsConnection.Subscribe("bucketevents", func(msg *nats.Msg) {
// Handle the message
log.Printf("Received message '%s\n", string(msg.Data)+"'")
})
// Keep the connection alive
runtime.Goexit()
}
```
```
go run nats.go
2016/10/12 06:39:18 Connected
2016/10/12 06:39:18 Subscribing to subject 'bucketevents'
```
Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
The example ``nats.go`` program prints event notification to console.
```
go run nats.go
2016/10/12 06:51:26 Connected
2016/10/12 06:51:26 Subscribing to subject 'bucketevents'
2016/10/12 06:51:33 Received message '{"EventType":"s3:ObjectCreated:Put","Key":"images/myphoto.jpg","Records":[{"eventVersion":"2.0","eventSource":"aws:s3","awsRegion":"us-east-1","eventTime":"2016-10-12T13:51:33Z","eventName":"s3:ObjectCreated:Put","userIdentity":{"principalId":"minio"},"requestParameters":{"sourceIPAddress":"[::1]:57106"},"responseElements":{},"s3":{"s3SchemaVersion":"1.0","configurationId":"Config","bucket":{"name":"images","ownerIdentity":{"principalId":"minio"},"arn":"arn:aws:s3:::images"},"object":{"key":"myphoto.jpg","size":56060,"eTag":"1d97bf45ecb37f7a7b699418070df08f","sequencer":"147CCD1AE054BFD0"}}}],"level":"info","msg":"","time":"2016-10-12T06:51:33-07:00"}
```
## Publish Minio events via PostgreSQL
Install PostgreSQL from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/).
### Step 1: Add PostgreSQL endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the PostgreSQL configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```
"postgresql": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"connectionString": "",
"table": "bucketevents",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "5432",
"user": "postgres",
"password": "mypassword",
"database": "bucketevents_db"
}
}
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. ``bucketevents`` is the database table used by PostgreSQL in this example.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted from ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:postgresql``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:postgresql --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:postgresql s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on PostgreSQL
Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
Open PostgreSQL terminal to list the saved event notification logs.
```
bucketevents_db=# select * from bucketevents;
key | value
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
images/myphoto.jpg | {"Records": [{"s3": {"bucket": {"arn": "arn:aws:s3:::images", "name": "images", "ownerIdentity": {"principalId": "minio"}}, "object": {"key": "myphoto.jpg", "eTag": "1d97bf45ecb37f7a7b699418070df08f", "size": 56060, "sequencer": "147CE57C70B31931"}, "configurationId": "Config", "s3SchemaVersion": "1.0"}, "awsRegion": "us-east-1", "eventName": "s3:ObjectCreated:Put", "eventTime": "2016-10-12T21:18:20Z", "eventSource": "aws:s3", "eventVersion": "2.0", "userIdentity": {"principalId": "minio"}, "responseElements": {}, "requestParameters": {"sourceIPAddress": "[::1]:39706"}}]}
(1 row)
```
## Publish Minio events via kafka
Install kafka from [here](http://kafka.apache.org/).
### Step 1: Add kafka endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the kafka configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows:
```
"kafka": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"brokers": ["localhost:9092"],
"topic": "bucketevents"
}
}
```
Restart Minio server to reflect config changes. ``bucketevents`` is the topic used by kafka in this example.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded or deleted from ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:kafka``. To understand more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:kafka --suffix .jpg
mc events list myminio/images
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:kafka s3:ObjectCreated:*,s3:ObjectRemoved:* Filter: suffix=”.jpg”
```
### Step 3: Test on kafka
We used [kafkacat](https://github.com/edenhill/kafkacat) to print all notifications on the console.
```
kafkacat -b localhost:9092 -t bucketevents
```
Open another terminal and upload a JPEG image into ``images`` bucket.
```
mc cp myphoto.jpg myminio/images
```
``kafkacat`` prints the event notification to the console.
```
kafkacat -b localhost:9092 -t bucketevents
{"EventType":"s3:ObjectCreated:Put","Key":"images/myphoto.jpg","Records":[{"eventVersion":"2.0","eventSource":"aws:s3","awsRegion":"us-east-1","eventTime":"2017-01-31T10:01:51Z","eventName":"s3:ObjectCreated:Put","userIdentity":{"principalId":"88QR09S7IOT4X1IBAQ9B"},"requestParameters":{"sourceIPAddress":"192.173.5.2:57904"},"responseElements":{"x-amz-request-id":"149ED2FD25589220","x-minio-origin-endpoint":"http://192.173.5.2:9000"},"s3":{"s3SchemaVersion":"1.0","configurationId":"Config","bucket":{"name":"images","ownerIdentity":{"principalId":"88QR09S7IOT4X1IBAQ9B"},"arn":"arn:aws:s3:::images"},"object":{"key":"myphoto.jpg","size":541596,"eTag":"04451d05b4faf4d62f3d538156115e2a","sequencer":"149ED2FD25589220"}}}],"level":"info","msg":"","time":"2017-01-31T15:31:51+05:30"}
```
## Publish Minio events via Webhooks
[Webhooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) are a way to receive information when it happens, rather than continually polling for that data.
### Step 1: Add Webhook endpoint to Minio
The default location of Minio server configuration file is ``~/.minio/config.json``. Update the Webhook configuration block in ``config.json`` as follows
```
"webhook": {
"1": {
"enable": true,
"endpoint": "http://localhost:3000/"
}
```
Here the endpoint is the server listening for webhook notifications. Save the file and restart the Minio server for changes to take effect. Note that the endpoint needs to be live and reachable when you restart your Minio server.
### Step 2: Enable bucket notification using Minio client
We will enable bucket event notification to trigger whenever a JPEG image is uploaded to ``images`` bucket on ``myminio`` server. Here ARN value is ``arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:webhook``. To learn more about ARN please follow [AWS ARN](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) documentation.
```
mc mb myminio/images
mc mb myminio/images-thumbnail
mc events add myminio/images arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:webhook — events put — suffix .jpg
```
Check if event notification is successfully configured by
```
mc events list myminio/images
```
You should get a response like this
```
arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:webhook s3:ObjectCreated:* Filter: suffix=".jpg"
```
### Step 3: Test with Thumbnailer
We used [Thumbnailer](https://github.com/minio/thumbnailer) to listen for Minio notifications when a new JPEG file is uploaded (HTTP PUT). Triggered by a notification, Thumbnailer uploads a thumbnail of new image to Minio server. To start with, download and install Thumbnailer.
```
git clone https://github.com/minio/thumbnailer/
npm install
```
Then open the Thumbnailer config file at ``config/webhook.json`` and add the configuration for your Minio server and then start Thumbnailer by
```
NODE_ENV=webhook node thumbnail-webhook.js
```
Thumbnailer starts running at ``http://localhost:3000/``. Next, configure the Minio server to send notifications to this URL (as mentioned in step 1) and use ``mc`` to set up bucket notifications (as mentioned in step 2). Then upload a JPEG image to Minio server by
```
mc cp ~/images.jpg myminio/images
.../images.jpg: 8.31 KB / 8.31 KB ┃▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓┃ 100.00% 59.42 KB/s 0s
```
Wait a few moments, then check the bucket’s contents with mc ls — you will see a thumbnail appear.
```
mc ls myminio/images-thumbnail
[2017-02-08 11:39:40 IST] 992B images-thumbnail.jpg
```
*NOTE* If you are running [distributed Minio](https://docs.minio.io/docs/distributed-minio-quickstart-guide), modify ``~/.minio/config.json`` on all the nodes with your bucket event notification backend configuration.
