Just posted on your other topic but for the sake of completeness here, the only way you can currently monitor Google Cloudsql instances is with the PMM Remote Monitoring feature (PMM-\> PMM Add Instance –\> Add a remote PostgreSQL | MySQL instance).&nbsp; Your PMM server will need TCP access to your instance so you may have to fiddle with firewall rules as well as a username/password with sufficient access to the database to pull metrics for either [Postgres](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/manage/conf-postgres.html#pmm-qan-postgres-conf-essential-permission-setting-up "Link: https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/manage/conf-postgres.html#pmm-qan-postgres-conf-essential-permission-setting-up")&nbsp;or [Mysql](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/concepts/services-mysql.html#pmm-conf-mysql-user-account-creating "Link: https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/concepts/services-mysql.html#pmm-conf-mysql-user-account-creating").&nbsp; Hope this helps!
