Hi!  
I have MySQL DB running in docker. I ran the PMM server as docker container on the same host. How can I monitor the MySQL instance?

Hello @Alexander_Pyatkin,  
Go into the PMM web UI and use ‘Add MySQL Remote’ and provide the info to your docker’d MySQL.

Alternatively, check out [our documentation](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/setting-up/client/index.html#docker) on using the pmm-client with docker.
