Compile PMM client tools on Raspberry Pi 4

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 2.x
1

Hi,
I have a Raspberry Pi 4, my idea was to be able to run:

pmm-admin config --server-url=https...pmm-admin add mysql


Because on the same Pi, I have 2 docker containers, they run MySQL 5.7.x and they are slaves of 2 of MySQL servers running on the cloud - VulTR. The replication running on the Pi 4 inside containers works fine, but if the local containers go down or replication stops: I would like to be notified. Then, I have a PMM server running on the net. It will be great if the Pi can use the pmm-client tools to monitor the 2 containers and send stats to the PMM server - VulTR. I haven’t found a easy way to install the pmm-client tools.

I downloaded the source for the PMM client:

https://www.percona.com/downloads/pmm/1.17.3/source/tarball/pmm-client-1.17.3.tar.gz


But, I cannot find the steps/instructions to compile, and I don’t see the aarch64 .deb compatible package.

[root@pi4 ~]&nbsp; uname -a<br>Linux pi4 5.3.0-1022-raspi2 #24-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 27 21:32:13 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

``` [root@pi4 ~]  lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 19.10
Release:    19.10
Codename:    eoan ```
I even tried to run the docker image:  perconalab/pmm-client:dev-latest from the Docker Hub, but it doesn't work, I guess it is not cross compile and it will only work on Intel/AMD 64.
Any help, I will be appreciate.

You’re right. Currently only Intel/AMD is officially but it would be very cool to run pmm-client on Raspberri Pi !
I’ll check with the team to get build instructions.  In the meanwhile  Does .srpm  have build instructions by chance ?

Hey Peter, any update on this?

@jbiancot the Percona shipped .src.rpm contains pre-built x86 binaries rather than source and build scripts

But - I have what you need here:

Real PMM 1 .src.rpm buildable from source, tested on aarch64.

Article on how to build PMM 1 from source (what the .src.rpm spec file does).

If you are looking specifically for instructions on how to build PMM v2 rather than v1, here is an article explaining the details.

Enjoy. :slight_smile:
