Dears.
Having an issue with pmm-agent and proxysql exporter
Pmm-agent is excessively logging en error in message log, causing log files growth.
Error is:

Feb  6 16:48:57 hostname pmm-agent[800105]: time="2024-02-06T16:48:57.876+01:00" level=error msg="ts=2024-02-06T15:48:57.876Z caller=exporter.go:202 level=error msg=\"Error scraping for collect.runtime_mysql_servers\"" agentID=/agent_id/e00df7e2-3a57-4ff1-a036-c0e5015d443b component=agent-process type=proxysql_exporter

Running versions

  • pmm2-client.x86_64 2.40.1-6.el9
  • proxysql.x86_64 2.4.8-1.el9

Anyone came across such situation?

Thanks.
Kind regards,
Robert

Can you SELECT * FROM runtime_mysql_servers using the same username/password as the PMM account?

Hi,
running the command with user used while enabling proxysql metrics returns:

MySQL [(none)]> SELECT * FROM runtime_mysql_servers;
ERROR 1045 (28000): ProxySQL Admin Error: no such table: runtime_mysql_servers

while running as admin user:

MySQL [(none)]> SELECT * FROM runtime_mysql_servers;

Now you know the reason :wink: Reconfigure pmm-client to use the admin user for proxysql.

Thanks. Worked like a charm! Will need to check/adapt the rights for that non-admin user.
Best,
Robert
