PMM-14665 Skip nodes internal to a PMM deployment when adding a service - #5704
Conversation
In an HA deployment the PostgreSQL cluster backing PMM's persistence layer runs pmm-client sidecars, so its pods were offered in the Nodes dropdown as valid monitoring delegates. Those Nodes are dedicated and must not take on extra monitoring workloads. PMM Server now accepts PMM_INTERNAL_NODE_NAME_PREFIXES, reports the Nodes it matches as is_pmm_internal_node, and rejects requests which delegate monitoring of a remote address to an Agent running on one of them. Local addresses remain allowed, so those Nodes keep monitoring the services inside their own pod. AddAzureDatabaseRequest gains pmm_agent_id, which the UI has always sent but the server discarded, placing Azure exporters on the PMM Server unconditionally.

`pmm-agent setup` registered the Node on every run, and a forced registration makes PMM Server drop the Node together with every Service on it. That is harmless for the database operators, whose sidecars re-add their own services on each container start, but it would silently delete user-added services from a long-lived PMM Client pod, which is what the pmm-ha Helm chart is about to pre-provision as monitoring delegates. Registration is now skipped when the Agent already holds an ID and is being set up against the same PMM Server it is registered with. `--force` still registers the Node again, and pointing an Agent at a different PMM Server registers it there as before.
…gent Skipping registration for an Agent which already holds an ID strands it whenever PMM Server no longer knows that ID, e.g. after the server was reinstalled or restored from a backup taken before the Agent was registered. pmm-agent then loops on "No Agent with ID" while the Node monitors nothing. `pmm-agent setup` now asks the server whether it still knows the Agent and registers the Node again when it does not. Credentials the server rejects count as an answer too: registering reports that with an actionable message, whereas skipping it would fail silently later on. An unreachable server is not an answer: a failed check keeps the registration, so an Agent still starts while PMM Server has no leader elected yet.
Keeping this ticket to what it is about: reporting the Nodes of a PMM deployment's own infrastructure as internal and refusing to delegate monitoring to them. Making `pmm-agent setup` idempotent is what would let a pre-provisioned PMM Client pod register once and keep its identity across restarts, but the chart can do that with a one-time init container instead. The agent side is worth its own effort: it changes pmm-agent CLI behaviour, it needs a release note, and the surrounding questions - how an Agent recovers when PMM Server no longer knows it, and how an orphaned Node is reclaimed - deserve their own design and review.

AddAzureDatabase creates the exporters and the QAN Agent under the requested pmm-agent, but kept asking for a state update of the PMM Server one. Whenever a caller named another Agent, the Agent which owns the new exporters was not told about them and did not start monitoring until its next state update, while an unrelated Agent was woken up instead. Every other Add handler notifies the Agent from the request, addRDS included.

TestImports rewrites managed/cmd/pmm-managed/packages.dot on every run, so running the tests picked up an import edge which main never recorded and an earlier commit here swept it in. It is unrelated to this ticket.
The PMM Server pods of an HA deployment are there to serve PMM, and a PMM Client is now pre-provisioned alongside them to carry the monitoring instead, so their Nodes are reported as internal and no longer offered when adding a service. A single-node deployment is untouched: its Node is the only one there is, and monitoring from the built-in Agent stays the documented way to reach RDS, Azure and remote databases there. The rule keys off the is_pmm_server_node column rather than the "pmm-server" name, so it survives the move to generated Node identifiers. Keeping the Nodes visible was only needed while AddAzureDatabase could not be told which Agent to use, which this branch has since fixed.

Ticket number: PMM-14665
Feature build: Percona-Lab/pmm-submodules#4498
In an HA deployment the PostgreSQL cluster backing PMM's persistence layer runs pmm-client sidecars, so its pods were offered in the "Nodes" dropdown of Add Service as valid monitoring delegates. Those nodes are dedicated and must not take on any extra monitoring workloads.
PMM Server now accepts
PMM_INTERNAL_NODE_NAME_PREFIXES(set by the pmm-ha Helm chart), reports the nodes it matches asis_pmm_internal_nodeonListNodes/GetNode, and rejects requests which delegate monitoring of a remote address to an agent running on one of them.Local addresses (empty,
localhost,127.0.0.1,::1) stay allowed on those nodes: that is how the PostgreSQL operator's sidecar registers its own PostgreSQL and Patroni services on every pod start, so a blanket rejection would break the persistence layer's own monitoring. An airtight alternative is to key the check on the registering service account instead, which is deliberately deferred - see the ticket.AddAzureDatabaseRequestgainspmm_agent_id, which the UI has always sent but the server discarded, placing Azure exporters on the PMM Server unconditionally.PMM Server nodes stay eligible on purpose: until the Azure API accepts an agent, Azure monitoring cannot run anywhere else.
