How did you install PMM? Is it possible you installed v1 and not v2?
On RHEL9, this is the correct package: pmm2-client-2.37.1-6.el9.x86_64
If you did yum install pmm-client then you got v1, not v2.

I installed using below command:

rpm -Uvh pmm2-client-2.37.0-6.el7.x86_64.rpm

Can you provide the error logs of PMM-agent after you restarted it? It looks like a clean restart but clearly something didn’t work internally.
