PMM server and PMM client are deployed and running. When cross verified, we are not able to get in the PMM Query analytics dashboard the slow query logs ( also difference in query time) that is shown in the slow-query log file present in MySQL. I tried to configure using [This](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/setting-up/client/mysql.html) but there was no changes. The other logs and metrices are working fine. what needs to be done to fix QAN ? can anyone please help ---

PMM can use either the slow query log or the `performance_schema` to gather query information. The pmm-client must have disk-level access to the slow log. If this is not possible, then you must configure the pmm-client to use the performance schema as the query source. Check the PMM documentation for how to change this setting. ---

After configuring the slow query logs and creating a service for MySQL in pmm inventory as mentioned in the documentation. The logs are not getting reflected in the query analytics dashboard. I expect the slow query logs whatever get logged in the slowquery.log storage in MySQL to be reflected in QAN dashboard. I am working in GKE environment with MySQL version8.0 and Percona xtraDB cluster version /v1-11-0 ---

Is pmm-client running within the same container as MySQL? As I said above, the pmm-client must be running inside the same container/pod as MySQL and the pmm-client must be able to read the files on disk. Otherwise, you must use perf-schema as slow source.
