Why can't I enable Performance Insights on existing instance?

0

I have a MariaDB 10.6, RDS t4g.micro instance, however when I go to Modify, there's no Performance Insights section. According to the documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_PerfInsights.Overview.Engines.html

Under Amazon RDS for MariaDB - The db.t4g.micro and db.t4g.small instance classes require 10.6 and higher.

    Hello. This is indeed a documentation error. Performance Insights relies on the use of PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA, which has a large memory footprint. This is why micro and small instances are not supported. The documentation will be updated to align with what is actually supported.
