Install PMM Server from AWS Marketplace¶
To install Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) Server from AWS Marketplace:
-
Go to AWS Marketplace and search for Percona Monitoring and Management Server or access the PMM Server listing directly.
-
Click Continue to Subscribe on the PMM Server listing page, review the terms and conditions, then click Continue to Configuration.
-
Select the latest version (recommended), choose the AWS region where you want to deploy PMM, then click Continue to Launch.
- Choose Launch from Website to configure and launch directly from the AWS Marketplace or Launch through EC2 if you prefer launching via the EC2 Management Console for more customization.
- In the EC2 Instance Type field, select an appropriate instance type based on your monitoring needs and anticipated load.
- In the VPC Settings field, choose an existing VPC or create a new one to host your PMM Server.
- In the Subnet Settings field, select an existing subnet or create a new one within your VPC.
- In the Security Group Settings field, choose an existing security group or create a new one based on the default settings provided by the seller.
- In the Key Pair Settings field, select an existing key pair for SSH access, or create a new one if necessary.
- Click Launch to deploy the PMM Server.
- Once the instance is launched, it will appear in the EC2 console.
Make sure to assign a meaningful name to the instance to help distinguish it from others in your environment.
Security consideration¶
Ensure that your security group allows inbound traffic on ports 22 (SSH) and 443 (HTTPS).
Service costs¶
While PMM Server itself is provided at no cost, be aware that you will incur AWS infrastructure costs based on the EC2 instance type, storage, and data transfer.
Disk space consumption¶
The disk space required by PMM Server depends on the number of monitored hosts and the retention period for the data.
As a reference, the PMM Demo site consumes approximately 230 MB per host per day, which totals around 6.9 GB per host over a 30-day retention period. Tip: You can estimate your disk space needs based on the number of hosts and the desired retention period.
