Hi, We noticed that if Percona Telemetric Agent is installed, then we are able to successfully install the new audit log plugin. If we uninstall and remove the telemetry service agent, then not able to install the Audit Log Filter plugin. Is there any dependency of installing new audit log plugin with Telemetry agent in Percona MySQL 8.4.7? How do we install 8.4.7 without Telemetry (and its service) and install the new audit log filter? ---

hey @Ramasamy telemetry has been added as a dependency. so if you don’t want to use it - you just need to disable it permanently [https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.4/telemetry.html#locations-of-metrics-files-and-telemetry-history](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.4/telemetry.html#locations-of-metrics-files-and-telemetry-history) ---

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I tried to disable it but after installing it audit log filter component is not installing properly. Is there any dependency between Telemetry and new audit log filter component? ---

Yes, we followed the link [Telemetry on Percona Server for MySQL - Percona Server for MySQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.4/telemetry.html#what-information-is-collected) . Though it is disabled (also updated the parameter percona\_telemetry\_disable=1 in the configuration file) and no service is enabled/running) but still the package is installed # rpm -qa |grep percona ]$ rpm -qa |grep percona percona-xtrabackup-84-8.4.0-5.1.el8.x86\_64 percona-telemetry-agent-1.0.7-1.el8.x86\_64 percona-server-shared-8.4.8-8.1.el8.x86\_64 percona-toolkit-3.7.1-2.el8.x86\_64 percona-server-server-8.4.8-8.1.el8.x86\_64 percona-server-client-8.4.8-8.1.el8.x86\_64 percona-server-shared-compat-8.4.8-8.1.el8.x86\_64 percona-icu-data-files-8.4.8-8.1.el8.x86\_64 $ ---

Though it is disabled (also updated the parameter percona\_telemetry\_disable=1 in the configuration file) and no service is enabled/running) but still the package is installed When I installed percona server with the below command, telemetry package was installed. ```auto # sudo PERCONA_TELEMETRY_DISABLE=1 apt install percona-server-server # dpkg -l |grep -i percona ii percona-release 1.0-32.generic all Package to install Percona gpg key and APT repos ii percona-server-client 8.0.45-36-1.noble amd64 Percona Server database client binaries ii percona-server-common 8.0.45-36-1.noble amd64 Percona Server database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf) ii percona-server-server 8.0.45-36-1.noble amd64 Percona Server database server binaries ii percona-telemetry-agent 1.0.10-1.noble amd64 Percona Telemetry Agent gathers information and metrics from Percona products installed on the host. ``` Installed the audit log filter using ```auto # mysql -u root -p -D mysql < /usr/share/mysql/audit_log_filter_linux_install.sql Enter password: ``` ```auto mysql> show plugins; | audit_log_filter | ACTIVE | AUDIT | audit_log_filter.so | GPL | ``` At the moment it is getting installed but not configured to send the data. You can safely stop the `percona-telemetry-agent` service and continue. You can also disable it in case if you dont want to restart it when the OS starts. Reported this to our Engineering team to see if we can avoid installing. But at this time it is a dependency package for percona-server-server. We tried stopping the agent and installed the plugin and it worked fine. ```auto # mysql -u root -p -D mysql < /usr/share/mysql/audit_log_filter_linux_install.sql Enter password: # ``` Plugin was active and can be used too. Both in 8.0 and 8.4.
