Prerequisites¶
Before setting up PMM Server, ensure you complete the following requirements:
-
Check that your system meets the hardware and software requirements.
-
Configure your network settings.
-
Use Grafana Service Accounts for secure and consistent authentication.
PMM 3 uses Grafana service accounts for authentication instead of API keys, which provide fine-grained access control and enhanced security.
Service accounts prevent issues such as Clients losing access due to admin password changes or account lockouts caused by multiple failed login attempts.
