Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) Docker Extension

PMM is an open source database monitoring solution. It provides great metrics of MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB in depth which helps to improve performance of the database stack and helps to find root cause of any issue.

⚠️ The Docker extension for Percona Monitoring (PMM), is not published yet on Percona Docker Hub or Marketplace. This is a demo in my personal account.

If you are interested in using PMM please consider using the officially supported method of installing PMM Server
