# Deploy Percona PMM with Easypanel

URL: /templates/pmm

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is an open-source monitoring and observability platform for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and cloud-native workloads. PMM provides metrics, query analytics, alerts, and dashboards to help you understand database performance and troubleshoot issues quickly.

## Installation notes

After deployment, open your Easypanel domain to access PMM. This template routes traffic to PMM's internal HTTP port 8080 and relies on Easypanel for TLS at the edge. Default login credentials are admin:admin; change the admin password immediately after first login from the PMM UI. Data retention and metrics resolution use Go duration syntax (e.g. 720h = 30 days, 1s, 60s).

## Benefits

### Unified Database Monitoring

Monitor multiple database engines from one place with ready-to-use dashboards for infrastructure and query performance.

### Query Analytics and Insights

Use Query Analytics to identify slow queries, execution trends, and bottlenecks affecting application performance.

### Long-Term Metrics Storage

Persist PMM data in a dedicated volume so historical metrics and trends are retained across restarts and upgrades.

## Features

### Built-in Dashboards

Includes Grafana-based dashboards and exporters for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and system metrics.

### Alerting and Advisors

Proactive alerting and best-practice checks help you detect and resolve issues before they impact production.

### Secure HTTPS Access

Easypanel terminates HTTPS for your domain while PMM runs internally on port 8080, keeping access secure and deployment-compatible.
