@vishnu

It looks like you running PMM Agent/Client in a container based environment. Can you please share the **docker/container logs** along with the file generated from the below command on the client to check if there is any connection related warnings/errors there.

`shell> pmm-admin summary`  
`shell> journalctl -eu pmm-agent > agent.log`

From the Mongod node, please share the output of below command to check the profiling status ?  
`mongo> db.getProfilingStatus()`

Are you seeing those queries directly in the profiling collection as below OR in the **mongod.log** file ?

shell\> `db.system.profile.find().pretty()`

What is the PMM Server/Client version you are using ? If you remove the service and then re-add is this working fine along with the QAN ?
