Hi, I came across PMM monitoring server. We run most of the database on Solaris. and I understand there is no PMM client for Solaris. I want to know whether I can use PMM Server to monitor our Solaris mysql database? We could monitoring the OS metrics by another tool and all I need is to monitor the mysql metrics. Is PMM Server itself sufficient? Of course PMM server will be installed on a RH machine and monitoring the Solaris server remotely.

PMM client is x86\_64 architecture, runs on any 64-bit linux. Not sure about Solaris. You may try the tarball version.

Otherwise, you can monitor mysql metrics remotely and mysql queries using performance\_schema as well.
