I install pmm server:1.10.0 via docker.  
And I use pmm clinet 1.10.0 version also.

os : 7.4 redhat

There is not any abnormal things in the period of installation with default setting.  
After installation, I use [url][http://ip/prometheus[/url]](http://ip/prometheus%5B/url%5D) to get some machine information.  
Then i find that there are 4 records in 20 minutes. like pic 1.

So i try to check and tune the scrape setting in /etc/prometheus.yml.  
I find that whatever i tune the situation is no changed.

Any one could help me to figure it out?  
Following is the initial prometheus config file content.

Hi [aaron](https://percona.vanillacommunities.com/profile/x/x/42683)

First, is there a particular reason you selected 1.10 instead of our latest 1.17.1 (released today in fact)? 1.10 is fine but just old…

Also it is hard to read your paste due to formatting, but it looks like you modified scrape\_timeout=1m and scrape\_interval=10s. I’m not sure if those values will be valid, for example we generally maintain scrape\_interval=1s in order to gather very high resolution data.

So can you share with us the commands you used to create and start your docker instances? that way we can see how the config file got set based on environment variables passed to entrypoint.sh.

Thanks!
