Issue was originally identified here: https://forums.percona.com/t/mariadb-pmm-client-commands-access-denied/32626
Following instructions, I noticed that pmm user was receiving many access denieds.
Looking at my previous mysqld exporter setup, I noticed that the instructions didn't specify to include the BINLOG MONITOR grant for the user.
Once I added BINLOG MONITOR, the number of access denieds dropped.
It also made binlog related graphs start working
BINLOG MONITOR is required for SHOW BINLOG STATUS and SHOW BINARY LOGS
