2. If a slow query occurs, you can locate the `tidb-server` instance where the slow query is and the slow query time point using Grafana and find the SQL statement information recorded in the log on the corresponding node.

3. Besides the log, you can also view the slow query using the `admin show slow` command. For details, see [`admin show slow` command](sql/slow-query.md#admin-show-slow-command).

#### How to add the `label` configuration if `label` of TiKV was not configured when I deployed the TiDB cluster for the first time?

The configuration of TiDB `label` is related to the cluster deployment architecture. It is important and is the basis for PD to execute global management and scheduling. If you did not configure `label` when deploying the cluster previously, you should adjust the deployment structure by manually adding the `location-labels` information using the PD management tool `pd-ctl`, for example, `config set location-labels "zone, rack, host"` (you should configure it based on the practical `label` level name).

  • Use "because" instead of "since".
  • Do not use contractions in the documentation, which might cause difficulty for translation and ambiguity.

#### Does TiDB have a function like the Flashback Query in Oracle? Does it support DDL?

Yes, it does. And it supports DDL as well. For details, see [how TiDB reads data from history versions](op-guide/history-read.md).

- Put the `syncer.meta` file in a relatively secure disk. For example, use disks with RAID 1.
- Restore the location information of history synchronization according to the monitoring data that Syncer reports to Prometheus regularly. But the location information might be inaccurate due to the delay when a large amount of data is synchronized.
