Hi everyone, I’ve already enabled the slow query log on my digital ocean managed database , but I’m not sure where to access or download the logs . Specifically: Where can I view or download the slow query logs? Are they accessible through the cloud provider’s console, or do I need to use CLI/SQL queries? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Specifically:

Where can I view or download the slow query logs?
Are they accessible through the cloud provider’s console, or do I need to use CLI/SQL queries?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
