Minimum permissions for MySQL plugin

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply but:

Thats for MySQL Enterprise Monitor software, I don’t understand the connection with Telegraf. Does Telegraf implement the same interface than MySQL Enterprise Monitor?

That permission level is huge. I don’t understand why Telegraf should be able to create users (CREATE USER) on the monitored MySQL Database I expect that it can run in some kind of read-only mode.

Also I don’t understand the need of the SUPER privilege that has many permissions on the DB.
