Install PMM Server from AWS Marketplace

To install Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) Server from AWS Marketplace:

  1. Go to AWS Marketplace and search for Percona Monitoring and Management Server or access the PMM Server listing directly.

  2. On the listing page, click Continue to Subscribe, review the terms and conditions, then click Continue to Configuration.

  3. Choose the latest version (recommended) and select the AWS region where you want to deploy PMM, then click Continue to Launch.

  4. Select one of the following launch methods:

  5. Launch from Website - to configure and launch directly from the AWS Marketplace or

  6. Launch through EC2 - if you prefer launching via the EC2 Management Console for more customization.

  7. In the EC2 Instance Type field, select an appropriate instance type based on your monitoring needs and anticipated load.

  8. Under VPC Settings, choose an existing VPC or create a new one to host your PMM Server.

  9. Under Subnet Settings, select an existing subnet or create a new one within your VPC.

  10. 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.

  11. Under Key Pair Settings, select an existing SSH key pair or create a new one to enable SSH access to the instance.

  12. Click Launch to deploy PMM Server.

  13. Once the instance is launched, it will appear in the EC2 console.

Assign a clear, recognizable name to the instance to simplify identification later.

Security consideration

Make sure your instance’s security group allows incoming traffic on the following ports:

  • 22 (SSH)
  • 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.
