How do I configure Query Analytics in PMM using slowlog or performance schema?▼

Configuring Query Analytics in PMM requires selecting proper data sources like slowlog or performance schema for your databases. You add instances and configure custom queries to capture QAN metrics accurately.

Does PMM 3 support secure TLS connections between server and client components?▼

PMM 3 supports secure TLS usage to ensure version-consistent server-client configurations. Proper TLS implementation is required during installation to maintain reliable and secure monitoring workflows.

What is the best way to avoid major version mismatches when setting up Percona monitoring?▼

Avoiding major version mismatches in Percona monitoring requires aligning PMM Server and Client major versions during setup. Correct matching prevents connection errors and ensures proper data source collection.

How do I configure alerting and advisors after adding databases to PMM?▼

Configuring alerting and advisors in PMM follows adding your databases to the monitoring server. You validate the status with pmm-admin commands to ensure alerts trigger correctly across monitored instances.

Why does pmm-admin fail to add my PostgreSQL instance for monitoring?▼

Pmm-admin fails to add PostgreSQL instances due to incorrect PMM major version matching or improper data source selection for QAN. Troubleshooting connections ensures proper version alignment and client registration.
