I see in PMM that there are only handful of rules/metrics that are available out of the box for MongoDB, Postgres & MySql.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/2X/3/3c41ef57f55fb9068b22a001910c3bd23f5e5256.png)

How do i create new DB related metrics apart from the one’s that are already available ?  
Is there a defined template to create new rules and alert on them ?

Any leads would be appreciated.

Regards,  
Vinoth

Hi, you need to write a template for each custom alert you need. You can start by checking out this [article](https://www.percona.com/blog/2021/04/16/integrated-alerting-design-in-percona-monitoring-and-management/).
