Hi Guys, Is there a way to trigger a fresh install of pmm server which was built from the market place AMI? I’ve been playing with pmm over the last few days and now want to start a fresh, but rather than throw away the instance, thought maybe if I trash the mysql data and/or something else it would trigger a fresh installation…

Thanks in advance M

Hi [martay](https://percona.vanillacommunities.com/profile/x/x/42025) , I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying PMM! There is not a way to reset an existing instance to defaults, the recommended action is as you describe - launch another instance to replace the old instance.
