Hi @Joyexp , as PolarDB is Alibaba’s own creation, we don’t know all of the internals. Their documentation does say it is MySQL-compatible. In PMM, go to ‘Inventory’ and you can ‘Add Remote MySQL’. Fill in all the details and give it a test.

I recommend going to [jira.percona.com](http://jira.percona.com) and opening a feature request for native PolarDB support for PMM.
