I have followed the directions here to setup percona proxysql-admin-tool with Percona Scheduler Admin. Looks like the cluster and everything got setup properly, but the below message is constantly in my log files for proxysql:

^[[35m[FATAL]^[[0m:2023-03-06 16:37:29 - Cannot remove lock file remove /var/run/pxc\_scheduler\_handler/10\_HG\_100\_W\_HG\_101\_R: no such file or directory

No one likes seeing FATAL in their logs, especially when it comes to database stuff.

Thanks!  
Anand
