first a big thank you to the percona stuff. I love PMM!
Now to my problem/question. According to this [url]https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/manage/client-linux-metrics.html[/url] I just have to configure pmm-admin (I’ve uninstalled the old client and installed the pmm2-client package) to have linux metrics in the GUI. I did that with a few hosts where I only need linux metrics and where’s no mysql or mongodb running, but they don’t show up in the GUI. Did I miss something?
Service type Service name Address and port Service ID
Agent type Status Agent ID Service ID
pmm-agent connected /agent_id/d6b75d41-3b68-4eb4-840f-6dc45f188e2d
node_exporter running /agent_id/4e4cc46d-559e-4c06-871b-ba87937e8673
Using tcpdump I can see traffic between the clients and the pmm server. However they don’t show up in the GUI.
I’ve explored the swagger API and bit and saw this “/v1/inventory/Nodes/List” which successfully returns all configured clients.
Very strange… Can you go on your [url]http://PMMSERVER/prometheus[/url] and enter “up” metric and click execute. Do you see the hosts which you only Monitor as Linux hosts out there ?
hm, it seems like I can’t send you a direct message by this forum. I can’t see the form (I don’t want to post the zip file here, because it might contain private information).
magenbrotIt looks like a region was specified for only one of your node (tyr.ovtec.it). The latest grafana version hasn’t support empty values. So only nodes with regions are shown. Such behavior will be changed in next PMM releases. For now you should remove and add the node without a region or specify a region for other nodes by the same procedure.
Hi adivinho, I’ve done that for all my hosts, but I still can only see one host. I’ve even reset the pmm-server and pmm-data container to try it with a fresh setup.
I’ve used the following commands to start the container and to configure the clients (Ports 80 and 443 are not available on the pmm-server host, I’m using a reverse proxy to access the grafana GUI).
Thx, but I’ve no firewall on the internal interfaces which I use for pmm. I also had tcpdump running for about an hour on this port, but there where no packets.
I finally found the problem with my setup. All my hosts except tyr.ovtec.it have two network interfaces, one with a public ip address and another one for the internal network. So the “usual” pmm-admin config added the hosts with their public IP address, but since this ip is firewalled the hosts did not appear in PMM.
I now added them with this command and everything is working fine:
pmm-admin config --server-insecure-tls --server-url=https://admin:password@10.20.30.2:8191 --force 10.20.30.6 generic loki.mydomain.de
in this example 10.20.30.2 is the host where the pmm is running in a docker container and 10.20.30.6 is the internal IP address of the host which I want to monitor.
