> Is the issue reproducible?

I didn’t do anything special. I just spun up the `pmm-server` via `docker` as per the docs.

Then started the `postgres` service like this on the `ubuntu server` running `postgres`:

```auto
sudo pmm-admin add postgresql --username='pmm' --password='my password'

```

> Does pmm-agent die if a postgresql service is removed and added again?

I tried removing it via this:

```auto
pmm-admin remove postgresql
pmm-admin remove postgresql /service_id/38deb42a-fb83-4f35-adf5-d11b783cef16

```

It gives the error:

```auto
Service with name "/service_id/38deb42a-fb83-4f35-adf5-d11b783cef16" not found.

```

So how do I remove and re-add?  
I looked [here](https://forums.percona.com/t/pmm-2-6-0-how-to-remove-a-db-node-from-monitoring/7636/2) but no luck.
