Slow Query Log - external access

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Operator for MySQL

Is there a way to expose the slow query log to an external monitoring process?

Hi @n7qnm MySQL Workbench can be used to view the slow query log as part of GUI tool. Alternatively you can use pt-query-digest utility from percona-toolkit

@n7qnm,
In addition to what @Uday_Kumar_Rajarapu said, the slow log is just a file on the disk. You can change its permissions so other processes can read it, such as Filebeat from ELK, or Loki from Grafana, etc. In essence, the slow query log is already exposed to any process that wants to read it.
