Hi, How can I change the time interval in which the status metricset runs the 'show status' query Is there any such option in mysql.yml config file? What is the default time interval of mysql's status metricset? Thanks. ---

These [settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-metricbeat.html#_standard_config_options) are available to all modules in metricbeat. The `period` setting determines the interval use by the configured metricsets. ---
