Not quite sure I understand the problem…are you trying to monitor the nginx process on the pmm server or monitor nginx on a different machine?

In either case you’re looking to use an [external exporter](https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-prometheus-exporter) with instructions [here](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/setting-up/client/external.html) but there’s a bit more to it if you’re trying to monitor what’s inside PMM.

I mean exactly about linux metric.

I could add linux metric in pmm1 and I see also node\_systemd\_unit\_state

But seem like pmm2 not support that or is a possibility to change collector status?
