I need to use PMM with RDS. I have an image that was created by my devops following the docker instructions (the AMI image would not connect to the RDS). Then I go to this page: [url][https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/amazon-rds.html[/url]](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/amazon-rds.html%5B/url%5D) I’ve turned on P\_S and I created the pmm mysql user. But when I go to the next command: sudo pmm-admin add mysql:metrics --host … And of course there is no pmm-admin software. I installed it on the host server of the docker container and tried again. pmm-admin add … I’m told to run pmm-admin config. I have verified the server is running and I can see the OS metrics for the pmm-server. But I can not configure the RDS. They are in the same vpc and vpc subnet. I’ve done from another ec2, pmm-server docker container and pmm-server that holds the docker container: curl http:///prometheus/ [Found](http://disq.us/url?url=%2Fprometheus%2Fgraph%3AUyW1LHbdWX08oRgGK9PmRfu9QSI&cuid=4563557). It’s just not clear how I tell the pmm-server to take metrics on an RDS server… ---

Please run ```auto pmm-admin info ``` and ```auto pmm-admin check-network ``` on the host you use to connect to the RDS instance and where PMM client is installed. ---

I came in this am and the prometheus/metrics is down on the local host. ---

and it’s down again… I’m not sure what is going on with PMM ?It’s ONLY the mysql:metrics. The mysql:queries is working. ---

I rebooted the instance, started the docker container and metrics are back. It may be that the instance was too small for 3 RDS servers (two were very small) I removed all but the most important and purged the other data. I did this for BOTH mysql:metrics and mysql:queries. However the queries still show up for the 2 dbs I removed. Now the prometheus/targets are showing up for the one db I want & down for the other two. (not sure how to remove them?) Turns out the old PC standard worked. REBOOT, restart. ---

Thanks for your all your help. I was able to add a mongodb client (I admit I had to use the forums) and now have both MySQL AND MongoDB. I LOVE PMM!
