Slow queries log on managed database

Is it possible to view the slow queries log on a managed database? I don’t see it under the “Logs & Queries” tab, as suggested.

Hey @lovablelapisraft,

I don’t think that you can change the slow query log variable as it is a global one.

mysql> show variables like '%slow%';
+-----------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name               | Value |
+-----------------------------+-------+
| slow_query_log              | OFF   |
+-----------------------------+-------+

You can try reaching out to the DigitalOcean support team who might be able to change this for you, though there is a chance that it might not be possible.

Hope that helps!
