Hi Our environment is split over multiple AWS accounts. Is it possible to have one install of PMM to monitor all of the RDS in the multiple accounts? ---

Hi @MorrisGip Yes, as per my knowledge you can use one PMM server for all the aws servers but you have to allow the n/w between the VPC network’s. ---

Hi @Naresh9999 Thanks for this, we have now got multiple accounts reporting in. The other thing was to remember to have users in the remote accounts to ensure that they can be discovered using the access keys. ---

Hello. Could you please share how you connected RDS from a different account? I’m currently struggling with the same issue, and it’s been very challenging for me. 방법으로 ---

Hello Sarma Process is pretty simple. Enabled `Enhanced Monitoring` for the RDS instance. And create AWS IAM access keys per account with the required policy (recommended): [https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/2/setting-up/client/aws.html#creating-an-iam-user-with-permission-to-access-amazon-rds-db-instances](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/2/setting-up/client/aws.html#creating-an-iam-user-with-permission-to-access-amazon-rds-db-instances) For adding RDS instances, you can also use the PMM API [https://percona-pmm.readme.io/reference/addservicemixin3](https://percona-pmm.readme.io/reference/addservicemixin3) or add nodes directly from PMM-server inventory. Please let me know if any questsions. Regards, Denis Subbota. Managed Services, Percona.
