Hello,We are successfully using PMM (2.6.1) and it works well.But I have a&nbsp;&nbsp;(stupid?) question: When I want to access the node’s metrics locally, i.e mynode:42000/metrics, I am asked for credentials, which ones am I supposed to use ?For sure, I tried with the pmm user / password, but it doesn’t work, so I’m a bit lost.Any help that would be appreciated.Thank you !

Hi  
You should use an agent\_id as a password and username pmm.  
Please take a look at the next example

Well, that’s something I could hardly guess, it works thank you 🙂  
Is it documented somewhere ?
