Hi ,

I wanted to automate the addition of RDS instances to Percona monitoring tool, currently I am discovering all RDS instances by supplying Access and Secret keys, then click on start monitoring and enter the details manually. Is there a way to automate this process? Highly appreciate you help on this.

Have a look [here](https://percona-pmm.readme.io/reference/addrds) for the API docs you can use to do this programmatically in the language of your choosing!
