FREQUENCY and ENABLED can be edited. For example, to update the frequency of the mysql.inno metrics:

       mysql>update performance_schema.setup_meters set FREQUENCY='30' where name = 'mysql.inno';

The maximum number of meter instruments which can be created is set by performance_schema_max_meter_classes.

Meters can also be configured from the commandline, on server startup, or from a configuration file.

To enable, or disable, a meter, or alter the meter frequency, use the following commandline parameter syntax:

        --performance-schema-meter='meterName=frequency:integer,enabled:ON|OFF'

The following example enables the mysql.inno meter and sets the frequency to 50:

        --performance-schema-meter='mysql.inno=frequency:50,enabled:ON'
