Hey, can someone help me with setting up monitoring for the xtradb cluster? I am following the documentation for using PMM: [Using Percona Kubernetes Operators with Percona Monitoring and Management - Percona Database Performance Blog](https://www.percona.com/blog/2020/07/23/using-percona-kubernetes-operators-with-percona-monitoring-and-management/) I have deployed the server using: helm install monitoring percona/pmm-server --set platform=kubernetes --version 2.7.0 --set “credentials.password=supa|^|pazz” - the server is deployed correctly. - but when I enable pmm in deploy/cr.yaml, all the pxc pods come up with 1/2 ready state, getting this error in pmm-client: `Invalid PMM Server URL "https://admin:supa||pazz@monitoring-service/": parse [https://admin:supa](https://admin:supa/)||pazz@monitoring-service/: net/url: invalid userinfo.` OR SRC\_ADDR=x.x.x.x - CLIENT\_NAME=cluster1-pxc-1 ++ curl -k -s -o /dev/null -w ‘%{http\_code}’ ‘[https://admin:supa|^|pazz@monitoring-service/v1/readyz](https://admin:supa%7C%5E%7Cpazz@monitoring-service/v1/readyz)’ - SERVER\_RESPONSE\_CODE=000 - I do have the monitoring-service in pxc namespace, and I can even curl to it: `curl https:///v1/readyz -k -vvv`, it gives me a 200 response. one question: Is there any way, I could simply get the prometheus metrics, and instead of using the PMM, use my own grafana instance? ---

We do not expose prometheus metrics. As a recommendation you may try our new recently releases PXC Operator 1.7.0, which has full support for PMM 2.0. It should be much easier to get it running. ---

I just removed the 1.6 version, and started fresh with the v1.7 I deploy the PMM server using this: `helm install monitoring percona/pmm-server --set platform=kubernetes --version 2.7.0 --set "credentials.password=supa|^|pazz"` I then manually change the password through GUI to “newpass”. Now while installing the xtradb cluster, I am changing the secret to look like this: apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: my-cluster-secrets type: Opaque stringData: root: root\_password xtrabackup: backup\_password monitor: monitory clustercheck: clustercheckpassword proxyadmin: admin\_password pmmserver: newpass operator: operatoradmin . I changed the cr.yaml to have the `serverUser` as “admin”. I create the cr, and I am still getting errors in the pmm-client: Checking local pmm-agent status… pmm-agent is not running. Registering pmm-agent on PMM Server… Failed to register pmm-agent on PMM Server: Invalid username or password. Please check username and password. pmm-agent setup exited with 1. Note that, I can login with admin/newpass as credentials on the pmm server. ---

and when I switch the image of the pmm server statefulset to `percona/pmm-server:2.0` I get following error: pmm-agent is not running. Registering pmm-agent on PMM Server… Failed to register pmm-agent on PMM Server: Internal server error… pmm-agent setup exited with 1. Can you please try to reproduce on a kubernetes cluster.
