PMM 3.X register pmm agent using service account

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 3.x
1

Hello,

In PMM 2.X I had the bad experience of trying to migrate our API keys to service accounts and find out that our agents were not working anymore as the service account registration was not available.

Our agents are register like this :
https://api_key:<APIKEY>@host:port

We will migrate to PMM 3.X soon and I want to know if we can use service accounts for registration now and how. Because the documentation only show an example with user:password.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

You should be able to use service account tokens for PMM v3 agents. Here’s the doc with more details Service accounts authentication - Percona Monitoring and Management
