Overview

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free, open source observability platform for databases and the systems they run on. It collects detailed metrics and query analytics from MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and ProxySQL alongside host operating system telemetry, then correlates them into a Grafana based web interface with prebuilt dashboards, alerting, query analytics, backup management and automated advisor checks that surface performance, security and configuration issues.

It suits teams that want a single self hosted pane of glass over their database estate, from a single instance to a large fleet, without sending telemetry to a third party service. The all in one server bundles its metrics store, query analytics store, internal database and dashboard interface together, so a complete monitoring backend is ready the moment it starts.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers PMM Server fully installed behind an nginx reverse proxy, so a working observability backend answers the moment the instance boots. It runs as the single official upstream server container, pinned by digest and managed by systemd, with its complete stack bundled inside. The image is secure by default: the server binds only to loopback behind nginx, and the upstream admin default is never valid on the network because a unique admin password is generated at random on the first boot of every instance and set before the dashboard is reachable, so no shared or default credential is ever baked in. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Self host a single pane of glass for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB metrics and query analytics in your own cloud account
  • Track database and host performance over time with prebuilt dashboards, alerting and automated advisor checks
  • Investigate slow queries and their impact with query analytics behind a per instance admin password
