hi,

I want to gather the monitoring data using my own sql query.

but pmm does not support mysql\_exporter. (not mysqld\_exporter)

could I use mysql\_exporter in PMM?

or… do I have to use mysql\_exporter without pmm?

thanks.

I resolved this issue.

I’ve installed mysql\_exporter with pmm docker version.

so I can gather the monitoring data using my own query.

1. install the prometheus\_mysql\_exporter\_master

2. change the /etc/prometheus.yml file (not recommanded)

3. it works!

thanks
