## Configuration

Example configuration:
The metrics that requires 
```
# specify servers via a url matching:
#  [username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/[?tls=[true|false|skip-verify]]
#  see https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#dsn-data-source-name
#  e.g.
#    root:passwd@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/?tls=false
#    root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/?tls=false
#
# If no servers are specified, then localhost is used as the host.
servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]
# the limits for metrics form perf_events_statements
perf_events_statements_digest_text_limit  = 120
perf_events_statements_limit              = 250
perf_events_statements_time_limit         = 86400
# if the list is empty, then metrics are gathered from all databasee tables
table_schema_databases                    = []
# gather metrics from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES for databases provided above list
gather_table_schema                       = false
# gather thread state counts from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST 
gather_process_list                       = true
# gather auto_increment columns and max values from information schema
gather_info_schema_auto_inc               = true
# gather metrics from SHOW SLAVE STATUS command output
gather_slave_status                       = true
# gather metrics from SHOW BINARY LOGS command output

## Measurements & Fields
* Global statuses - all numeric and boolean values of `SHOW GLOBAL STATUSES`
* Global variables - all numeric and boolean values of `SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES`
* Slave status - metrics from `SHOW SLAVE STATUS` the metrics are gathered when the single-source replication is on. If the multi-source replication is set, then everything works differently, this metric does not work with multi-source replication.
    * slave_[column name]()
