Hi guys,

Hope you are all well !

I am facing an issue when restarting pmm-server service from docker and here is below a screenshot of my error logs:

Here is my docker-compose:

I tried to stop/remove containers and to delete the pmm-data volume but the error persist.

Do you see a workaround or a way to troubleshot/debug it ?

Cheers,

Luc Michalski
