I am using [PMM2](https://www.percona.com/software/database-tools/percona-monitoring-and-management "Link: https://www.percona.com/software/database-tools/percona-monitoring-and-management") for monitoring all my RDS instances.  
I added Postgres as a remote database, But by [adding a database as remote](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/remote-instance.html "Link: https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/remote-instance.html") in PMM2 we miss host-level metrics like CPU, Memory etc. What is the recommended way of adding Postgres (RDS) or a way to inject missing metrics to get the complete Node Summary?

Hi @xrage   
PMM2 should be capable of pulling CloudWatch stats for all of the host-level metrics. Have you configured CloudWatch correctly with IAM permissions as documented here?&nbsp;[https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/manage/amazon-rds-settings.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/manage/amazon-rds-settings.html)
