## Description:

Does anyone use PMM to monitor databases deployed on kubernetes? Are the system metrics such as CPU percentage accurate? (representative of the container’s usage)

What deployment style do you use? Side car PMM-Client on each database node? Or single PMM Client deployed on its own?

Hi, currently we have a problem with presenting correct values for CPU and Memory usage in percentages for K8s nodes.  
We recommend running PMM Client as side container
