When trying to enable the extension I have to provide a user/password. However there is no indication what permissions this user account needs to have. Is it enough if he has the MonitorAdmin permissions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
We don't require any special permissions. MonitorAdmin permissions should be enough.
For those who were wandering MonitorAdmin is the Workbench name for the PROCESS permission on MySQL. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/privileges-provided.html#priv_process
In MySQL monitoring we use show global status (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/show-variables.html) and show global variables (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/show-status.html)
they don’t
require any specific privileges, only an ability to connect to the server is
needed.
Thanks Jakub! This is the only place where I found this info. I wonder why there's no setup documentation for the MySQL plugin, like there is e.g. for https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/application-software/other-technologies/su...
https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/application-software/other-technologies/su... returns 404.
