+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following environment variables control behavior for the embedded
+MinIO Console:
+
+.. envvar:: MINIO_PROMETHEUS_URL
+
+   *Optional*
+
+   Specify the URL for a Prometheus service configured to 
+   :ref:`scrape MinIO metrics <minio-metrics-collect-using-prometheus>`.
+
+   The MinIO Console populates the :guilabel:`Dashboard` with cluster metrics
+   using the ``minio-job`` Prometheus scraping job.
+
+.. envvar:: MINIO_LOG_QUERY_URL
+
+   *Optional*
+
+   Specify the URL of a PostgreSQL service to which MinIO writes 
+   :ref:`Audit logs <minio-logging-publish-audit-logs>`. The embedded
+   MinIO Console provides a Log Search tool that allows querying the
+   PostgreSQL service for collected logs.
+
+.. envvar:: MINIO_BROWSER
+
+   *Optional*
+
+   Specify ``off`` to disable the embedded MinIO Console.
+
+.. envvar:: MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT
+
+   *Optional*
+
+   Specify ``false`` to direct MinIO to prevent redirecting browsers accessing
+   the ``localhost:9000`` URL to the MinIO Console. MinIO instead throws an
+   XML access error.
