Extending the Victoriametics file, What's the right way?

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

I’m testing to see if I can add a custom node with node-exporter metrics on the same docker-container as PMM_server, I tried searching online but couldn’t find a specific or direct answer so here i am.
if the prometheus.base.yml is not available should I create it? or is there a specific file that should be configured to add other targets to my PMM dashboard I tried looking for /etc/victoriametrics.yml but it says not to edit anything in it.

You can add external exporters like this:

pmm-admin add external --group=processes  --listen-port=XXXX

XXXX should be the port that your new exporter is serving metrics on. You can read more here: External Services - Percona Monitoring and Management
