What DumbMonit watches

This integration was built from the MinIO metrics documentation, not against a running server yet. It only reads. Tell us what breaks. A MinIO object store through its Prometheus metrics: nodes and drives that went offline, raw and usable capacity, objects and buckets, the self-healing that fails, replication failures and S3 requests that end in a server error.

Typical use. Object store (beta): nodes and drives offline, capacity, heal and replication failures, S3 errors

Examples

  • MinIO single node
  • MinIO distributed cluster

How it connects

What you need

  • Prometheus tokenThe bearer_token printed by mc admin prometheus generate. It opens the metrics pages only.

No account needed.

Network ports to open

  • 9000/TCPS3 API and metrics (HTTP or HTTPS, default)
Setup steps: Generate a Prometheus token for DumbMonit
  1. With the mc client configured for your MinIO (alias myminio), generate the token of the cluster metrics.

    mc admin prometheus generate myminio cluster
  2. Copy the value after bearer_token in the output: that is the token.

  3. In DumbMonit, enter the MinIO address (for example minio.lan), paste the token as Prometheus token and choose https if MinIO serves TLS.

Heads-up. The token only opens the metrics pages, but anyone holding it can read them. If MinIO runs with MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE=public, the metrics need no token: choose No authentication.
