If you've been using mysql and the corresponding agent plugin mk_sql under Windows, the plugin may have crashed and the agent output would then show the following error:

<<<mysql_ping>>>
[[MySQL83]]
mysqladmin: File '\etc\check_mk\mysql.local.ini' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory)
mysqladmin: [ERROR] Stopped processing the 'include' directive in file C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\config\mysql.ini at line 8.

Under Windows, the plugin config path C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\config is now used.

In contrast to the corresponding Linux plugin mk_mysql, the config path under Windows cannot be changed.
