Hope this can help > [@MySQL Required Privileges?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/mysql-required-privileges/118530): > > I'm new to elastic and metricbeat, but I'd like to set up the mysql module with a user account that has the least required privileges. The example shows "root@" and the question about privileges was never answered in this earlier thread… Stuck with MySQL permission Does anyone know the incantation to create a mysql user with the correct privileges for the metricbeat mysql module to collect stats? ---
