Hello.  
I’m trying to setup instances from CloudSQL with PMM.  
Following the docs, I’ve done the SQL side settings, but when I try to “Add Instance”, it creates a remote node, ande set this node at “System Nodes”, and its does not receive metrics.

After some tries, I’ve created a node in the pmm-sever machine and use the commom CLI install for instances, and metrics came.

How do I work with this “remote nodes”?

tks

Hi @AND,

PMM hasn’t supported native GCP monitoring yet. It’s already planed to be added in a future release.  
The only way for now to get a system metric is using an external exporter.

BTW we are planing to use the next exporter
