Would it be possible to add `threads_connected` to the exported fields for mysql plugin?

Definitively. I would suggest to directly add all `Threads` metrics:

```auto
| Threads_cached | 0 |
| Threads_created | 30022 |
| Threads_connected | 1 |
| Threads_running | 1 |

```

Feel free to either open a feature request on Github or directly a PR agains the beats repo. It should be quite easy to add it here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/mysql/status/data.go#L11](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/mysql/status/data.go#L11)

Thanks!

I have made my very first pull request [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/2484](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/2484).

I hope I did it ok. Please let me know if I did anything wrong.

Thanks again,
