I’ve setup PMM on a server, and added a client, which correctly shows up under PMM inventory - but nothing appears in the MYSQL overview, and it doesn’t show on the prometheus scrape list. Documentation refers to “pmm-admin check-network” but that just errors out with: ``` wiki mysql # pmm-admin check-network pmm-admin: error: expected command but got "check-network", try --help ``` pmm-admin list shows: ``` wiki mysql # pmm-admin list Service type Service name Address and port Service ID MySQL wiki.example.com-mysql 127.0.0.1:3306 /service_id/cbff4c44-2f09-49fb-a0cd-273c4093ee43 Agent type Status Metrics Mode Agent ID Service ID pmm_agent Connected /agent_id/c49e2a69-33fc-4ddd-9e0f-ec02b7bc5ad8 node_exporter Running push /agent_id/a6ecf473-cf6a-441c-853e-1bc630e96870 mysqld_exporter Running push /agent_id/6b9eb3bd-5989-4dc2-b408-a579e1edb933 /service_id/cbff4c44-2f09-49fb-a0cd-273c4093ee43 mysql_slowlog_agent Running /agent_id/a3706303-1471-4150-8772-1aacbc83ccc3 /service_id/cbff4c44-2f09-49fb-a0cd-273c4093ee43 vmagent Running push /agent_id/8626cb6f-e2d4-4bd1-a1af-43dc6b3f3a72 ``` Running curl from either the server or the client gets a large dump of data: ``` curl -k -u pmm:/agent_id/6b9eb3bd-5989-4dc2-b408-a579e1edb933 http://wiki.example.com:42002/metrics ``` ---

Hi Tom, _“it doesn’t show on the prometheus scrape list.”_ Please confirm that you have checked scrape targets through the next url `https:///prometheus/targets` ---

Yes - that’s the one - it shows various things (like a postgresql database) which I assume are the pmm server itself - but nothing about MySQL. I installed it using the OVA image on VMWARE. ---

No service instances are shown in VM targets if push mode is used. Metrics are processed by local vmagent. You may check amount of collected metrics for a particular service in Explore. `count({service_name="wiki.example.com-mysql"})` ![Screenshot_20210215_115349](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/2X/7/7ea85a72863b97668beebd8e03125630e10d4c8b.png) ---

I get: 0 series returned - if monitoring VM targets do I need to run PMM on the mysql server itself? ---

Remotely located services can be monitored as well. ![Screenshot_20210215_124013](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/2X/3/36679327de8561083cb057ef785ffb5a167c7e43.png) ---

I’m confused - the documentation is incorrect? You are supposed to add a remove server using that and NOT via pmm-admin on the remote system itself? To be precise, I have PMM running on a host ([pmm.example.com](http://pmm.example.com)) and I ran the pmm-admin commands on [wiki.example.com](http://wiki.example.com) (another host) - both are VMs running Linux (not a “cloud database” if that matters). That remote server thing seems to be wanting to do remote MySQL commands across the internet? I guess I could do that but it seems … insecure. ---

It has to be shown on PMM server side according to provided exporter statuses (Running). Do you see any node metrics on dashboards for host [wiki.example.com](http://wiki.example.com)? Could you perform `pmm-admin summary` command and check if any errors are occurred in logs? ---

It appears the PMM server only sees itself. Attached are the summary ZIPs from both ends here: [Box](https://mef.box.com/s/qha3bl5qf57ebiwmw89owa3oyyo9usit) Looking in the errors indicates it may be an IPv6 issue - the client is trying to communicate with the IPv4 of the server which is a private IP? It should only be using the hostnames. ``` 2021/02/14 13:51:17 [warn] 1139#1139: *10 an upstream response is buffered to a temporary file /var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp/1/00/0000000001 while reading upstream, client: 192.168.88.108, server: _, request: "GET /graph/public/img/login_background_dark.svg HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/public/img/login_background_dark.svg", host: "192.168.88.160", referrer: "http://192.168.88.160/graph/" ``` ---

We may exclude such issues by specifying IP addresses in a configuration command. Please notice that after a config command a mysql service has to be added for monitoring again. e.g. `pmm-admin config --server-url="https://admin:K4xu5gDEKQhmsyxW@192.168.88.160" --server-insecure-tls 192.168.88.108 generic myNode` ---

I have been using that but with the domain name of the IPv6 host - the IPv4 is unroutable. Should I be using the bracket form of the ipv6?
