To find out whether Performance Insights is currently managing the Performance Schema for all supported major engine versions, review the following table.


| Setting of performance\$1schema parameter | Setting of the Source column | Performance Insights is managing the Performance Schema? | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| 0 | System default | Yes | 
| 0 or 1 | Modified | No | 

In the following procedure, you determine whether Performance Insights is managing the Performance Schema automatically.
