hello  
i have been using mysqld\_expoter and cloudwatch\_exporter in my monitoring environment.  
and now, i want to use PMM qan.

so i installed pmm-admin, and added mysql.  
but it seems pmm automatically run mysqld\_exporter and mysql\_perfschema\_agent ( for slow log qan )

i want my mysqld\_exporter and cloudwatch\_exporter to use the existing environment  
and only qan to be used in the new environment.

how can i shutdown mysqld\_exporter which is implemented automatically by pmm-admin  
or how can i implement only qan except mysqld\_exporter

pleas help  
thanks!
