Hi Team, We are getting the below PMM2 configuration issue while adding the mysql metrics to PMM2 agent. DB Version: Mysql5.7 ERROR: **Connection check failed: Error 1045: Access denied for user ‘pmm’@‘192.168.101.06’ (using password: YES).** [root@192.168.101.06](mailto:root@192.168.101.06):~# pmm-admin listService type  Service name         Address and port  Service ID Agent type                     Status                  Agent ID                                   pmm\_agent                    **Connected        ** /agent\_id/fghghfgh-28ucb-fhug-a4a4-22fhghghghnode\_exporter              **Running            ** /agent\_id/fhfghfgh-d01u6-fghfg-8325-234vyyfrrf NOTE: MySQL servers is running with SSL. we given the pmm user acces to  **192.168.101.06 with required ssl privilege.** Below is the Command we are using: pmm-admin add mysql --query-source=slowlog --server-insecure-tls --username=‘pmm’ --password=‘pwd’ --host=‘192.168.101.06’ --port=3306NOTE: If we tried to login with pmm user it is working fine, but if tried with the above pmm-admin command it is throwing the above error.

Generally we would recommend connecting via socket in case the pmm-client is running on the localhost. However, if you really need SSL connection to the mysqld instance you need to configure ~/.my,cnf with the ssl-ca, ssl-cert, and ssl-key parameters. Then use this command to add mysql service: ```auto pmm-admin add mysql --username=$USER --password=$PASSWORD --tls --tls-skip-verify $SERVICE_NAME $CONNECTION_PARAM ``` ---

@jrivera  We tried the socket option which you suggested and it worked. ```auto pmm-admin add mysql --username=$USER --password=$PASSWORD --tls --tls-skip-verify $SERVICE_NAME $CONNECTION_PARAM --socket=/path/mysql.sock ``` Below is the command which i used. pmm-admin add mysql --query-source=slowlog --server-insecure-tls --username=‘abc’ --password=‘XXXX’ --socket=/path/mysqld.sock
