   my suspicion, after reading https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26573940/why-cant-create-a-new-user-in-mysql is that zabbix had me import the user in an earlier step so that the user existed.
   
   Which gets me back to the original statement...that the zabbix instructions could use some work
   
   The weird thing is that the CREATE statement worked. This may be because of the hostname, but I got it working, so I am no longer worried about it.

   the error specifically says you cannot use GRANT to create user. Maybe you could in earlier versions of MySQL? You can't in MySQL 8.whateverIhave

   Hmm, it probably is true: "Please note that the interfact to the JMX uses a small jar file contained in this module, so you will need to have java installed on the machine you're running this module on." https://pypi.org/project/jmxquery/
   
   noticing a lot of typos in the things I am copying and pasting...

   "Why the exporter is not written in GO ?
   
   Cassandra metrics are only available trought JMX, which in turn is only accessible with Java."
   
   The Go question is a bit eye-rolly, but I wonder if the answer is actually true.

   my experience is limited, but SPD seems a lot easier that Look. Look is what we have on our Peloton.
   
   The whole "clip" terminology is really weird since they call being clipped-in "clipless". I believe the clip must refer to something very specific and historical.

   I have nagios, Prometheus, and Zabbix all installed. I am ready to be the !monitoring guy!
   
   At some point, I need to set up the #ElasticStack, #FluentD, and #Grafana, but Grafana in particular I don't see as a monitoring tool. It is a visualization tool. It is often in the stack with Prometheus, and I need to know it, but I don't see it as a priority. The priority is to get Prometheus monitoring my #Cassandra install.

   for example, need to create a user before this grant command:
   
   # mysql -uroot -p
   password
   mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
   mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';

   It has been a while since I have done anything with #MySQL and #Postgres. I keep forgetting that the package 'mysql' is not the server.
   
   Of course, the Zabbix instructions could be a lot better in this regard. !monitoring

    I had marketing remove the email as a required field.

    I told them that before you responded...or at least before I saw the response. I think it was enough to drive the point home that people might not want to share their email :)

    I told them you worked for the government and they said "We are going to update the form so it is not required"

    What should I tell marketing your role and title is? I think they are trying to determine if it is worth taking off the email address.

    postgres works, but Zabbix does not. I think I created a !monitoring group long ago...not that groups are really that useful these days

    pretty sure that is to make sure there aren't duplicates, but I will see if we can get one without that

    interesting that in Cassandra-land "load" refers to disk space.

    I have no idea how many people marketing is targeting, but it is a survey about open source software. It is not something being blasted everywhere. I would say chances aren't that bad.
