In order to have your MySQL server monitored by ServerGuard24 , the right to connect all
measuring points from ServerGuard24 to the MySQL server is required in addition to the connection to the server (please keep firewalls in mind).
Therefore you should add a new MySQL user, which is used by ServerGuard24 for monitoring purposes only and which does not need any access rights to you data.
To do so you could use the SQL statement listed below:
INSERT INTO mysql.user (Host, User, Password, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv, Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv, Index_priv, Alter_priv) VALUES ('%', 'sg24test', password('sg24pass'), 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N');
flush privileges;
If you want to set the configurations manually, add a new entry with the following values in the "mysql" databank in the table "user":
Host: %
User: <Username>
Password: <Password>
All other fields: 'N'
To finish the process enter the assigned username and password in the ServerGuard24 MySQL service form.
