Hi,

I tried using the pmm-client 1.2.0 with mongodb as target

./pmm-admin config --server 172.19.155.50
OK, PMM server is alive.

PMM Server | 172.19.155.50
Client Name | xsj-clb01
Client Address | 172.19.61.52

Registering mongodb:metrics errors out

[linux:metrics] OK, now monitoring this system.

Hi,
can you run pmm-admin check-network ?

Hi Tanveer,

How did you install pmm-client? dev/rpm?

Hi roma.novikov output of check-network is below

When an endpoint is down it may indicate that the corresponding service is stopped (run ‘pmm-admin list’ to verify).
If it’s running, check out the logs /var/log/pmm-*.log

When all endpoints are down but ‘pmm-admin list’ shows they are up and no errors in the logs,
check the firewall settings whether this system allows incoming connections from server to address:port in question.

Also you can check the endpoint status by the URL: [url]http://172.19.155.50/prometheus/targets[/url]

, I use the tar.gz and not the rpms because on our servers we do not have provision to write to /usr/local and pmm-admin requires /usr/local/percona
directory

Thanks,

Hi Tanveer,

currently PMM Client generate startup scripts into default OS locations.
It is needed because PMM Client services should be started after OS reboot.

we are looking for solution how to start pmm-client without root user and without write access to default OS paths (internal ticket PMM-1317)
that you for this report!
