This is what pmm2-agent shows (pmm-agent --config-file=/data/pmm2/pmm-agent.yaml &) /data/pmm2 is softlinked to /usr/local/percona/pmm2 It also sends some data to PMM server (MySQL service, slow queries), but not the client-host itself. No data in MySQL section / OS / InnoDB etc., Any pointers would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time! ```auto INFO[2023-04-26T17:07:56.193+00:00] Process: waiting 26.719954408s. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:07:56.194+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:00.132+00:00] Sending 4989 buckets. agentID=/agent_id/7175c76d-496c-42dd-8d1a-80d3a312592c component=agent-builtin type=qan_mysql_perfschema_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:10.285+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter WARN[2023-04-26T17:08:10.285+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/mysqld_exporter: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:10.286+00:00] Process: waiting 28.654842666s. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:10.286+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:22.917+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent WARN[2023-04-26T17:08:22.917+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/vmagent: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:22.917+00:00] Process: waiting 29.023687109s. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:22.917+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:38.949+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter WARN[2023-04-26T17:08:38.949+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/mysqld_exporter: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:38.949+00:00] Process: waiting 31.876425424s. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:38.949+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:51.944+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent WARN[2023-04-26T17:08:51.944+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/vmagent: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:51.944+00:00] Process: waiting 30.752203807s. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:08:51.944+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:09:00.141+00:00] Sending 4989 buckets. agentID=/agent_id/7175c76d-496c-42dd-8d1a-80d3a312592c component=agent-builtin type=qan_mysql_perfschema_agent INFO[2023-04-26T17:09:10.840+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter WARN[2023-04-26T17:09:10.840+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/mysqld_exporter: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:09:10.841+00:00] Process: waiting 31.854132396s. agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:09:10.841+00:00] Sending status: WAITING (port 42002). agentID=/agent_id/2eed3bac-870e-46ed-ae65-39a7a4ee10da component=agent-process type=mysqld_exporter INFO[2023-04-26T17:09:22.697+00:00] Sending status: STARTING (port 42000). agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent WARN[2023-04-26T17:09:22.698+00:00] Process: failed to start: fork/exec /usr/local/percona/pmm2/exporters/vmagent: no such file or directory. agentID=/agent_id/7cb63f96-3035-464f-9aab-b76e5843c068 component=agent-process type=vm_agent ``` ---

Just to add, followed this guide to compile: [Steps to compile PMM v2 client on AWS EC2 ARM (github.com)](https://gist.github.com/guriandoro/897e0b8eadf1caaa6c4e4f0b6f132251) node\_exporter compiled 18M (the only binary by node\_exporter) and no other support file was there. PMM Server is installed via docker on 64bit CentOS as per single line command installation. ---

Anyone, can help …? Or atleast share which component owns these exporters, so I can focus on that direction. Thanks once again. ---

It appears the gist you followed is incomplete. I did not see any steps to compile the mysqld\_exporter. You will need to compile the mysql exporter for ARM. Each \*\_exporter is its own binary that must be compiled for ARM. You should be able to expand the steps in the gist to include the mysqld\_exporter. ---

Can you share a command for the same? ---

Okay, my bad. Need to clone all repos and build them, got it! Thanks for your help! ---

As new PMM released, trying to build RPMs from source. But I am getting this error, any hints? ```auto ➜ /data rpmbuild --define 'dist .el9' --rebuild pmm2-client-2.37.0-6.src.rpm Installing pmm2-client-2.37.0-6.src.rpm warning: line 5: Possible unexpanded macro in: Version: %{version} warning: line 6: Possible unexpanded macro in: Release: %{release}.el9 error: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/SPECS/pmm2-client.spec: line 11: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration. ``` Just for reference, this is the OS ```auto ➜ /data uname -a Linux ip-xxx.ec2.internal 5.14.0-299.el9.aarch64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Apr 13 10:49:45 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux ``` Any hints would be much appreciated!
