7.36.0 breaks mysql.net.connections, reports bogus values

See original GitHub issue

7.36.0 changes the behavior of mysql.net.connections in a way that was probably unintentional. 7.36.0 reports the Connections status variable as a raw value, but that poses a problem because Connections is cumulative. This is breaking change from 7.35.2, which reported the delta. That’s resulting in completely broken metrics when updating to 7.36.0:

I originally reported this at https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/issues/12150, but I’m moving it here because it’s technically an issue with the MySQL check.

Hey @Zenexer, thanks again for reporting this issue and we apologize for the inconvenience. We just reverted the change that affected the metric (https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/pull/12088) and we’re currently working on a new release for 7.36 that will include this fix.

Hey @Zenexer, just following up with this issue. We’re in the process of rolling out Agent v7.36.1 which will include this fix. However, please note, if you are using DBM (dbm: true), you will not see an immediate change because we have to make some additional changes in our pipeline amongst other processes. This process is expected to take approximately 1 week. Thanks again for your patience!
