Hi,  
I wanted to set up PMM alerts. I couldn’t find a way to set up the alert alarming. I followed a link by Percona,

The problem is I couldn’t find grafana config file in my EC2 instance. Any help is appreciated.

Hi govindareddy20,

config file is placed inside docker container, so you need to run bash inside container

```auto
docker exec -it pmm-server /bin/bash

```

and edit /etc/grafana/grafana.ini file

```auto
/etc/grafana/grafana.ini

```

Hi govindareddy20,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have updated the Percona blog post to mention the config file’s location specifically.
