PMM Attempts to Connect to rdsadmin Database

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 2.x
1

Hello,

We are experiencing an issue where Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) attempts to connect to the rdsadmin database on our Amazon RDS instances. This occurs despite explicitly specifying the target databases for monitoring.

The repeated connection attempts result in the following error being logged for all databases:

ERROR: permission denied for database rdsadmin

While this does not seem to affect the overall functionality of PMM, it creates unnecessary noise in our logs, making it harder to monitor for actual issues.

Our goal is to reduce the noise in the logs and ensure that PMM only monitors the explicitly specified target databases.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to configure PMM to exclude rdsadmin from connection attempts?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi!

What database flavor and version do you use?

Hi, what version of PMM is used, is it PostgreSQL or MySQL?
I see that we excluded rdsadmin for PostgreSQL monitoring.

I apologize for the delay in my response. We are using Amazon PostgreSQL RDS, Version 16.3, and the Percona/PMM chart 1.3.20.
