    Description

      Impact on the user
      Automation is broken and cannot be used with >=2.31.0

      Steps to reproduce

      • Use 2.30.0
      • Install the client
      • Create a file to contain all flags
      • Add a service, e.g. pmm-admin add mysql @/path/to/file
      • Remove service
      • Upgrade client to 2.31.0
      • Add a service, e.g. pmm-admin add mysql @/path/to/file

      Actual result
      Failure to register the service

      Expected Result
      Successfully registering the service

      Workaround
      N/A

      Details
      A flags file is used for the following reasons:

      • it allows detection of a change in configuration via automation
      • it hides secrets from the command line
      • it works with all technologies allowing a single template to render the file for use
      • it avoids convoluted ways to support automating all kinds of configurations
