The PMM documentation indicates that Percona recommends using the Slow Query Log, instead of the Performance Schema for PMM if you are running Percona Server 8.0+. My question is, if I configure my server to use the Slow Query Log with the following configuration variables as recommended by Percona: slow\_query\_log=ON log\_output=FILE long\_query\_time=0 log\_slow\_admin\_statements=ON log\_slow\_slave\_statements=ON …Should I then disable any or all of these settings which are recommended by Percona if using the Performance Schema?: performance\_schema=ON performance-schema-instrument=‘statement/%=ON’ performance-schema-consumer-statements-digest=ON innodb\_monitor\_enable=all ---

Disabling those performance\_schema instruments will not gain you anything significant in terms of CPU/memory. I would leave them as-is. 🙂
