mysqld_exporter - Error pinging mysqld

[robert....@gmail.com]

Hi,

We followed the instructions [here](https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter) in order to setup monitoring for our MySQL Database as part of PCF. However, when trying to run the Exporter, we are getting the following error:

```

ERRO[0000] Error pinging mysqld: Error 1045: Access denied for user 'mysqld_exporter'@'{{IP_ADDRESS}}' (using password: YES) source="mysqld_exporter.go:268"

```

Any suggestions on how to resolve that?

`mysqld_exporter version: v0.10.0`

`MySQL for PCF: v1.10.8`

It is related to this ticket [#174](https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter/issues/174), but no real solution has been proposed.

Thanks!

Regards,

Robert
