AIStor provides full-stack observability through native Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, and multi-target log streaming to HTTP webhooks or Kafka. Built-in console monitoring delivers real-time dashboards with 24-hour retention for immediate diagnostics. Zero agents required.
Native metrics, tracing, and logging integrations with built-in real-time monitoring.
Prometheus Metrics v3
Hierarchical metric paths under /minio/metrics/v3/* enable domain-specific monitoring. Scrape only what you need without polling the entire metric set.
Built-In Console Monitoring
Real-time dashboards with time-series performance graphs, health diagnostics, and tracing. 24-hour metric retention for immediate operational visibility.
OpenTelemetry Tracing
Native distributed tracing with OTLP export, MinLZ compression, and per-node span limits. AlwaysSample and ParentBased tracers provide context-aware request tracking.
Multi-Target Log Streaming
Stream audit and system logs to console, HTTP webhooks, or Kafka with SASL authentication. Resilient batching ensures lossless SIEM integration.
Runtime Profiling
CPU and network profiling APIs enable real-time debugging and performance tuning for production workloads without restart or instrumentation.
Why AIStor is Different
Traditional storage observability requires deploying agent sidecars, configuring metric exporters, and polling proprietary APIs. Organizations piece together separate tools for metrics, tracing, and logging, each with different configuration patterns and failure modes. When incidents occur, operators switch between disconnected systems to correlate data and identify root causes. AIStor delivers unified observability with zero agents and native protocol support.

Business Impact
Eliminate Agent Overhead
Zero-agent design replaces host sidecars with Prometheus HTTP scraping, cutting monitoring infrastructure costs and deployment complexity.
Accelerate Incident Response
OpenTelemetry tracing pinpoints cross-node latency bottlenecks, reducing troubleshooting time from hours to minutes.
Enable Multi-Tenant Chargeback
Per-bucket API, bandwidth, and QoS metrics provide precise usage tracking for consumption-based billing without external tools.
Simplify Compliance Auditing
Real-time audit log streaming via HTTP or Kafka with SASL authentication enables instant compliance visibility and security alerting.
Unify Historical and Real-Time Data
Long-term metrics for trend analysis alongside live console diagnostics for immediate incident response.
Accelerate Dashboard Deployment
MinIO also provides Grafana dashboard templates for metrics, enabling instant, optimized monitoring without custom dashboard development.
