# Golang Admin Client API Reference [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)

## Initialize Minio Admin Client object.

##  Minio

```go

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/minio/minio/pkg/madmin"
)

func main() {
    // Use a secure connection.
    ssl := true

    // Initialize minio client object.
    mdmClnt, err := madmin.New("your-minio.example.com:9000", "YOUR-ACCESSKEYID", "YOUR-SECRETKEY", ssl)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    // Fetch service status.
    st, err := mdmClnt.ServiceStatus()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", st)

## 1. Constructor

### New(endpoint string, accessKeyID string, secretAccessKey string, ssl bool) (*AdminClient, error)
Initializes a new admin client object.

__Parameters__


|Param   |Type   |Description   |
|:---|:---| :---|
|`endpoint`   | _string_  |Minio endpoint.   |

## 2. Service operations

| Param  | Type  | Description  |
|---|---|---|
|`serviceStatus`  | _ServiceStatusMetadata_  | Represents current server status info in following format: |


| Param  | Type  | Description  |
|---|---|---|
|`st.Total`  | _int64_  | Total disk space. |
|`st.Free`  | _int64_  | Free disk space. |
|`st.Backend`| _struct{}_ | Represents backend type embedded structure. |

| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|`backend.Type` | _BackendType_ | Type of backend used by the server currently only FS or XL. |
|`backend.OnlineDisks`| _int_ | Total number of disks online (only applies to XL backend), is empty for FS. |
|`backend.OfflineDisks` | _int_ | Total number of disks offline (only applies to XL backend), is empty for FS. |
|`backend.ReadQuorum` | _int_ | Current total read quorum threshold before reads will be unavailable, is empty for FS. |
|`backend.WriteQuorum` | _int_ | Current total write quorum threshold before writes will be unavailable, is empty for FS. |


 __Example__


 ```go

	st, err := madmClnt.ServiceStatus()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	log.Printf("%#v\n", st)

 ```

<a name="ServiceRestart"></a>
### ServiceRestart() (error)
If successful restarts the running minio service, for distributed setup restarts all remote minio servers.

 __Example__


 ```go


	st, err := madmClnt.ServiceRestart()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	log.Printf("Success")

 ```
<a name="ListLocks"></a>
### ListLocks(bucket, prefix string, olderThan time.Duration) ([]VolumeLockInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of locks held on ``bucket`` matching ``prefix`` older than ``olderThan`` seconds.

__Example__

``` go
    volLocks, err := madmClnt.ListLocks("mybucket", "myprefix", 30 * time.Second)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }
    log.Println("List of locks: ", volLocks)

```

<a name="ClearLocks"></a>
### ClearLocks(bucket, prefix string, olderThan time.Duration) ([]VolumeLockInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of locks cleared on ``bucket`` matching ``prefix`` older than ``olderThan`` seconds.

__Example__

``` go
    volLocks, err := madmClnt.ClearLocks("mybucket", "myprefix", 30 * time.Second)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }
    log.Println("List of locks cleared: ", volLocks)

```

<a name="ListObjectsHeal"></a>
### ListObjectsHeal(bucket, prefix string, recursive bool, doneCh <-chan struct{}) (<-chan ObjectInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of objects that need healing in ``bucket`` matching ``prefix``.

__Example__

``` go
    // Create a done channel to control 'ListObjectsHeal' go routine.
    doneCh := make(chan struct{})

    // Indicate to our routine to exit cleanly upon return.
    defer close(doneCh)

    // Set true if recursive listing is needed.
    isRecursive := true
    // List objects that need healing for a given bucket and
    // prefix.
    healObjectCh, err := madmClnt.ListObjectsHeal("mybucket", "myprefix", isRecursive, doneCh)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    for object := range healObjectsCh {
        if object.Err != nil {
            log.Fatalln(err)
            return
        }
        if object.HealInfo != nil {
            switch healInfo := *object.HealInfo; healInfo.Status {
            case madmin.CanHeal:
                fmt.Println(object.Key, " can be healed.")
            case madmin.QuorumUnavailable:
                fmt.Println(object.Key, " can't be healed until quorum is available.")
            case madmin.Corrupted:
                fmt.Println(object.Key, " can't be healed, not enough information.")
            }
        }
        fmt.Println("object: ", object)
    }
```

<a name="HealBucket"></a>
### HealBucket(bucket string, isDryRun bool) error
If bucket is successfully healed returns nil, otherwise returns error indicating the reason for failure. If isDryRun is true, then the bucket is not healed, but heal bucket request is validated by the server. e.g, if the bucket exists, if bucket name is valid etc.

__Example__

``` go
    isDryRun := false
    err := madmClnt.HealBucket("mybucket", isDryRun)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }
    log.Println("successfully healed mybucket")

```

<a name="HealObject"></a>
### HealObject(bucket, object string, isDryRun bool) error
If object is successfully healed returns nil, otherwise returns error indicating the reason for failure. If isDryRun is true, then the object is not healed, but heal object request is validated by the server. e.g, if the object exists, if object name is valid etc.

__Example__

``` go
    isDryRun := false
    err := madmClnt.HealObject("mybucket", "myobject", isDryRun)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }
    log.Println("successfully healed mybucket/myobject")

```
