Percona does not support installation formats outside of the three: docker, AWS Marketplace, or OVA/OVF. Sorry,

I can’t see any instructions to install pmm server in stand alone rhel machine.

PMM2 does not yet support modification of the node_exporter collectors. We expect to introduce this functionality in an upcoming release

Are you using Kubernetes? At this time PMM is not supported in a k8s environment. We are working to provide this support in an upcoming release, as it will impact how we deliver pmm2-client package as well as our PMM Server docker image.

See our post from late November on how to run both clients at the same time on the same host:

My pmm2 is server at pod and I’m tryiung to connect my clinet from other pod with mysq and then I’ve got:

bash-4.2$ sudo pmm-admin config –server-insecure-tls –server-url=https://admin:admin@10.244.15.57:443
Checking local pmm-agent status…
pmm-agent is running but does not read configuration from the file. Please restart it with –config-file flag.

Why it want to connect to local agent when I set server url??

I notice the clients both use the ‘pmm-admin’ command, is there anyway for the 2 clients to differentiate the configuration?

You will need to set up a separate PMM 2 Server

Thanks,

To configure pmm-agent –server-url isn’t going to work, it needs –server-address along with –server-username and –server-password

At a high level the following are the steps followed.
——————————————————-
Generic Linux PMM Agent Installation & Configuration.
——————————————————-

wget https://www.percona.com/downloads/pmm2/2.0.0/binary/tarball/pmm2-client-2.0.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf pmm2-client-2.0.0.tar.gz
cd pmm2-client-2.0.0
./install_tarball

export PATH=/usr/local/percona/pmm2/bin:$PATH

#1) Configure Agent.
/usr/local/percona/pmm2/bin/pmm-agent setup –config-file=/usr/local/percona/pmm2/config/pmm-agent.yaml –server-insecure-tls –server-address=PMM-Hostname/IP:443 –server-username=admin –server-password=admin

#2) Start Agent
/usr/local/percona/pmm2/bin/pmm-agent –config-file=/usr/local/percona/pmm2/config/pmm-agent.yaml &

#3) Add MySQL to pmm monitoring.
/usr/local/percona/pmm2/bin/pmm-admin add mysql –environment=PROD –replication-set=repset-name –username=DB_USER_NAME –password=DB_PASSWD –query-source=perfschema Hostname HostIP:3306

I have a problem when I add new service monitoring with different port and address :
pmm-admin add mysql –query-source=slowlog –username=’pmm’ –password=’****’ localhost:53308
Connection check failed: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3306: connect: connection refused.

Why pmm-admin force the default ?

Thanks

I don’t see issue in syntax but the flow by which pmm-admin registers node.
This can be secured by not storing “GrafanaAdmin” credentials as PLAIN-TEXT on to monitoring nodes and if possible to allow configuring monitoring nodes with “Admin” credentials instead of “GrafanaAdmin” if possible. Already reported bug PMM-4743 for same.

BTW, PMM2 is great… 🙂

What did you expect instead of the existing syntax? Can you provide an example?

pmmclient:/opt/mysql/pmm2-client-2.0.0 # ./install_tarball
Installing into /usr/local/percona/pmm2…

pmmclient:/opt/mysql/pmm2-client-2.0.0 # pmm-admin config –server-insecure-tls –server-url=https://admin:admin@ipaddress:444/
If ‘pmm-admin’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf pmm-admin

pmmclient:/opt/mysql/pmm2-client-2.0.0 # export PATH=/usr/local/percona/pmm2/bin:$PATH
pmmclient:/opt/mysql/pmm2-client-2.0.0 # pmm-admin config –server-insecure-tls –server-url=https://admin:admin@ipaddress:443
Checking local pmm-agent status…
pmm-agent is not running. Please re-run pmm-agent setup with –config-file flag.
