5.4.2.2. MySQL Server Accounts for Status Monitoring
To monitor server status, the MySQL Instance Manager will
attempt to connect to the MySQL server instance at regular
intervals using the
MySQL_Instance_Manager@localhost user
account with a password of
check_connection.
You are not required to create a
MySQL_Instance_M@localhost user account
in order for the MySQL Instance Manager to monitor server
status, as a login failure is sufficient to identify that
the server is operational. However, if the account does not
exist, failed connection attempts are logged by the server
to its general query log (see Section 5.11.3, “The General Query Log”).
