Hi @Saidarao thanks for posting in the Forum!

You could log the queries enabling the Slow log; and you can see those in PMM / QAN.

But, if I understand your request correctly, you may be better using the [Audit Log](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/management/audit_log_plugin.html).

Finally, please check this [Blog Post](https://www.percona.com/blog/percona-audit-log-plugin-and-the-percona-monitoring-and-management-security-threat-tool/) about using PMM and Audit Log Plugin; I hope this helps you find what you’re looking for.
