Hi,

It can be used two metric sources _Slow query log_ and _Performance Schema_  
But the first one requires to have PMM Client on the same host as the database server.

Hi adivinho,

This is a cloudsql instance [PaaS] hence we cannot connect to it directly nor can we install the pmm-client

So the only possible way is to use _Performance Schema_
