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.
