MinIO integration for Grafana Cloud

MinIO is a Kubernetes-native high performance object storage server compatible with Amazon S3. This integration enables the agent to send metrics to Grafana Cloud along with a useful default dashboard for visualization.

Install MinIO integration for Grafana Cloud

1. In your Grafana instance, Click Integrations and Connections (lightning bolt icon), then click on install integration on MinIO tile.
2. Wait for the integration to be installed and then follow the steps shown to setup Grafana Agent to automatically scrape and send MinIO metrics to your Cloud Instance.

Pre-install configuration for the MinIO integration

This integration monitors a single MinIO server.

Post-install configuration for the MinIO integration

By default, the agent configuration expects the MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE to be set to ‘public’.

If you choose not to set this flag you will need to update the agent configuration prometheus scrape job integrations/minio to include bearer_token generated with mc admin prometheus generate <alias>. You can read more in the monitoring minio docs.
