Better Stack MinIO metrics

Start collecting metrics in 2 minutes

Collect metrics from your MinIO server using Vector.

1. Expose metrics

Expose metrics from your MinIO server by setting MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE environment variable:

Set up and restart MinIO
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE=public
minio server /data

Use actual data path

Replace /data by your path to the data.

2. Set up Vector

Select your platform:

Install and configure Vector on Ubuntu or Debian:

Set up Vector
curl -sSL https://logs.betterstack.com/setup-vector/minio/$SOURCE_TOKEN \
  -o /tmp/setup-vector.sh && \
  bash /tmp/setup-vector.sh

Curious about what the script does?

  • Installs Vector using official package.
  • Configures Vector for your Better Stack source.
  • Enables and restarts Vector.

The script will ask for confirmation before making any changes.

You should see your logs in Better Stack → Live tail.
