Find the Drive in Your Haystack with MinIO Enterprise Observability

MinIO's Enterprise Object Store Observability solution is purpose-built for operations teams managing petabytes to exabytes of data on MinIO and is based on empirical experience of deploying thousands of MinIO clusters.

The MinIO Enterprise Object Store Observability feature was designed specifically for the challenges of managing large-scale data infrastructure. With object-level granularity and awareness of the entire hardware stack, it delivers mission-critical information to those who need to keep the world running smoothly. From metrics, logs, traces and health checks, MinIO institutionalizes its experience managing exabytes of data infrastructure into a simple, yet powerful solution that monitors infrastructure at a granular level.

Context

No matter what your infra, drive observability is paramount when talking about thousands, even tens of thousands of drives. Drive observability goes beyond simple Red/Green indicators and can tell you what is running slow while uncovering the intermittent issues that frustrate ops teams.

MinIO’s observability solution provides bucket level visibility as well as network visibility - identifying hidden bottlenecks and helps operations teams learn the key application behavior patterns - facilitating decisions on where best to run those workloads.

Features

Features

Data Map

Data Map

The data map feature identifies malfunctioning drives by highlighting performance issues, allowing for their timely replacement. It offers a detailed visualization to alert users about potential risks, down to specifics like utilization and capacity, ensuring infrastructure reliability and performance optimization.

Audit

Audit

The audit log capability captures all the system calls and system activity along with all the user activity - delivering full visibility into who did what and when.

Errors

Errors

The error logs identify tough to diagnose problems like drives which cannot connect and drives that have random read problems. These issues are fairly rare making them particularly challenging for operations teams to find.

API Metrics

API Metrics

API metrics provide an overview of how the data is being accessed, with sensitivity down to the millisecond.

System Metrics

System Metrics

MinIO depends on the network and the drives to deliver its industry leading performance. System metrics allow full visibility into how they interact and where the issues in your infrastructure lurk.

Healing Metrics

Healing Metrics

While MinIO’s capabilities on healing are well known, from bit rot to drive failure - the metrics on where the healing process is, or what was done were difficult to generate. With healing metrics, the operations team has all the information at their fingertips.

ILM Metrics

ILM Metrics

MinIO supports full metrics on data lifecycle management data. Are objects making it where they need to go, when they are supposed to and without unnecessary overhead? ILM metrics provide the insight.

Replication Metrics

Replication Metrics

MinIO’s rich replication capabilities require equally rich observability. Identify any bottlenecks or delays with the replication metrics and stay on top of the resilience game.

Scanner Metrics

Scanner Metrics

When you have millions if not billions of objects, a scanner comes in very handy. But who watches the scanner? Now with scanner metrics, it is easy to see the performance of scan jobs and identify if anything is running incompletely or not completing in a timely manner.
