Date:	May 11, 2021
Installation:	Installing Percona Monitoring and Management

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free and open-source platform for managing and monitoring MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL performance.

Release Highlights¶

Custom certificates help define proper security levels for remotely monitored MySQL instances, including Google Cloud SQL.
Usability improvements to the External Monitoring UI. When filling parameters, you can enter the parts of an endpoint (scheme, host, path) or let PMM automatically extract them from a URL.
pg_stat_monitor 0.9.0 support. This change will give you compatibility with the latest version. Support for new features will be in an upcoming release.
Single-line install of PMM Server on supported Linux distributions (this feature is in Technical Preview).
DBaaS Changes: (this feature is in Technical Preview)
- It is easier to experience DBaaS functionality; you can quickly turn it ON/OFF in Advanced settings on the Settings page. (Read more)
- Database components management will enable PMM administrators to limit users in your organization to specific (admin-approved) database versions in their DBaaS DB Clusters.
- For PXC clusters created using DBaaS, HAProxy will now be used by default. Please note: Monitoring of the HAProxy in DBaaS will be enabled in an upcoming release.
