Sergei Krupnik··Updated HostedPMM is no longer available.
HostedPMM is Ivinco's managed service that spins up a fully-configured Percona Monitoring and Management server in minutes — no VM provisioning, no DNS setup, no SSL certificate juggling. We handle availability, security updates, scaling, and backups so you focus on monitoring your databases instead of monitoring your monitoring system.
Get open source PMM up and ready for monitoring your databases in a few clicks.
We are excited to announce the launch of the HostedPMM beta release! HostedPMM is a service that lets you easily spin up a fully managed PMM server for monitoring databases in minutes.
Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is an open-source database monitoring package loved by app developers and database administrators. PMM enables database performance monitoring, query analysis, real-time alerting, and much more! However, setting up PMM may be a complex process that involves deployment, network configuration, installing SSL certificates, and connecting agents. Managing PMM may also become a time-consuming distraction requiring specific skills.
HostedPMM removes all this trouble, by providing a ready-to-use PMM server, a perfect solution for database monitoring and query analysis. HostedPMM automates the following operations for each user:
-
Spawn a virtual machine
-
Deploy a PMM server to it
-
Perform initial configuration
-
Set up DNS and SSL for a custom domain
With HostedPMM you get a fully-functional PMM server in minutes!
PMM is a great open-source solution to find and resolve database issues. But it is a bit complicated to set up and support so we decided to make these processes as easy as possible. I believe that HostedPMM will help you spend more time on the product, not infrastructure.Sergei Krupnik, HostedPMM Product Owner.
After you start a PMM server with HostedPMM can rely on us continuously taking care of it, including:
-
PMM server availability
-
Security updates
-
Infrastructure scaling
-
Telemetry data backups
Moreover, HostedPMM users can contact our team for support and assistance to get the most out of PMM using best practice methods for database monitoring.
We need to monitor several high-load MySQL database clusters. Previously we used a self-hosted PMM server and had to do a lot of work that seemed to be unnecessary. We were paying for VPS, kept eye on backups, and even had to monitor our monitoring system. That is ridiculous.It is great that now we basically can outsource PMM hosting, monitoring, scaling, and support. HostedPMM just works and we are not bothered with these routines anymore.Valery Panov, Head of Infrastructure team at Ivinco.
We invite everyone to try the HostingPMM beta for free. No credit card is required to sign up and start using the service.
We encourage you to give us feedback via Twitter, Facebook, or email at info@hostedpmm.com. You can also reach Sergei Krupnik (HostedPMM Product Owner) directly at sergei.krupnik@hostedpmm.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HostedPMM?
HostedPMM is a managed Percona Monitoring and Management service. Instead of setting up a PMM server yourself — provisioning a VM, installing PMM, configuring DNS, generating SSL certificates, and connecting agents — you get a fully-configured server in minutes. We handle availability, scaling, backups, and security patches so you can focus on monitoring your databases.
Why use HostedPMM instead of running PMM yourself?
Self-hosted PMM works fine, but the operational overhead adds up: you pay for the VM, manage backups of telemetry data, monitor the health of your monitoring system, and handle security updates. HostedPMM removes all of that. It makes sense when database monitoring is critical but you don't have a team dedicated to running monitoring infrastructure.
What does HostedPMM monitor?
HostedPMM runs the standard PMM server, which means you can monitor MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ProxySQL, and Linux/Windows host metrics — anything PMM agents support. You install pmm-agent on your database hosts, point it at your HostedPMM server, and the standard PMM dashboards (Query Analytics, performance metrics, replication state) all work out of the box.
Is HostedPMM still in beta?
No. This post announced the beta release, and HostedPMM is no longer available.
