# Welcome Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is an open source database monitoring, management, and observability solution for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. It allows you to observe the health of your database systems, explore new patterns in their behavior, troubleshoot them and perform database management operations no matter where they are located on-prem or in the cloud. - PMM **collects** thousands of out-of-the-box performance **metrics** from databases and their hosts. - The PMM [web UI](get-started/interface.md) **visualizes data** in [dashboards](details/dashboards/). - Additional features include [advisors for database health assessments](details/develop-checks/index.md). !!! alert alert-info "" This is the documentation for the latest release, **PMM {{release}}** ([Release Notes](release-notes/{{release}}.md)). Here's how the home page looks on our free, live demo system. PMM Demo Home Page PMM runs in the cloud, on-prem, or across hybrid platforms. It's supported by our [legendary expertise][percona_services] in open source databases, and by a vibrant developer and user [community]. A minimal PMM set-up comprises one [server](details/architecture.md#pmm-server) and a [client agent](details/architecture.md#pmm-client) on every system you want to monitor. ## Start here - An [easy install] script, which you download, make executable and run. The script installs Docker and runs PMM Server as a container. - The [Quickstart install guide] shows how to run PMM Server as a Docker container, and how to install PMM Client on Ubuntu or Red Hat Linux hosts. - [Setting Up] explains in detail how to set up PMM Server, clients, and how to add services. ## Read more ### Links to popular sections #### For System Administrators - [Setting up](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/setting-up/index.html) - [How to configure](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/how-to/configure.html) - [How to upgrade](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/how-to/upgrade.html) - [pmm-admin](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/details/commands/pmm-admin.html) - [Architecture](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/details/architecture.html) #### For Users - [User interface](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/get-started/interface.html) - [Using Query Analytics](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/get-started/query-analytics.html) - [Using Percona Alerting](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/get-started/alerting.html) - [Dashboards reference](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/2.x/details/dashboards/index.html) ??? note alert alert-info "Full section map (click to show/hide)"
