fix: readiness needs to be like liveness (#9941)
Readiness as no reasoning to be cluster scope
because that is not how the k8s networking works
for pods, all the pods to a deployment are not
sharing the network in a singleton. Instead they
are run as local scopes to themselves, with
readiness failures the pod is potentially taken
out of the network to be resolvable - this
affects the distributed setup in myriad of
different ways.

Instead readiness should behave like liveness
with local scope alone, and should be a dummy
implementation.

This PR all the startup times and overal k8s
startup time dramatically improves.

Added another handler called as `/minio/health/cluster`
to understand the cluster scope health.

MinIO Monitoring Guide

MinIO server exposes monitoring data over endpoints. Monitoring tools can pick the data from these endpoints. This document lists the monitoring endpoints and relevant documentation.

Healthcheck Probe

MinIO server has two healthcheck related un-authenticated endpoints, a liveness probe to indicate if server is working fine and a readiness probe to indicate if server is not accepting connections due to heavy load.

  • Liveness probe available at /minio/health/live
  • Readiness probe available at /minio/health/ready

Read more on how to use these endpoints in MinIO healthcheck guide.

Prometheus Probe

MinIO server exposes Prometheus compatible data on a single endpoint. By default, the endpoint is authenticated.

  • Prometheus data available at /minio/prometheus/metrics

To use this endpoint, setup Prometheus to scrape data from this endpoint. Read more on how to configure and use Prometheus to monitor MinIO server in How to monitor MinIO server with Prometheus.
