## Description:

I just set up PMM.

I’m seeing queries in QAN, but the Examples tab (and the Plan tab as well) are empty:

When I go to Explore and run `select example from pmm.metrics limit 10;` on ClickHouse, I get a list if 10 empty strings.

Is this normal for Postgres?

## Version:

PMM 3.5.0  
Postgres 12.22  
pg\_stat\_monitor 2.1.0

Can you please check whether the PMM client service was added with the **Disable Query Examples** option enabled?

> 1. (Optional) If using `pgstatmonitor`, check **Disable query examples** under **Additional options** to prevent collection of actual query values. This protects sensitive data while preserving all query metrics and performance statistics in QAN.

I don’t see any way to double check the settings of a service after it has been created, but I left all the settings on their defaults, which look like this:

We don’t support PostgreSQL 12. You will need to upgrade to a modern, supported version of PG.
