  2. Choose Parameter groups.

  3. Select the name of the parameter group for your DB instance or Multi-AZ DB cluster.

  4. Choose Edit.

  5. Enter perf in the search bar.

  6. Select the performance_schema parameter.

  7. Choose Set to default value.

  8. Confirm by choosing Set values to default.

  9. Choose Save Changes.

  10. Reboot the DB instance or Multi-AZ DB cluster.

    Important

    Whenever you turn the Performance Schema on or off, make sure to reboot the DB instance or Multi-AZ DB cluster.
