Hi All,

Could you please confirm whether **pg\_stat\_monitor.pgsm\_enable\_query\_plan** needs to remain disabled permanently, or it only needs to be disabled temporarily while enabling the **pg\_stat\_monitor** extension, and can then be re-enabled afterwards?

Hi @nareshnarala ,

You can check this bug’s status in the following ticket:

> **[Jira](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PMM-13651)**

For now, it needs to stay disabled for you to see the correct calculated metrics on PMM.
