With this werk, the agent plugin mk_mysql.vbs is ported to mk_mysql.ps1 in version 2.5.

The behavior, output formats, and results in the GUI remain unchanged:

No rule reconfiguration is needed.
To start using the new plugin, bake the agent and update it on the host machine.
If you use manual agent installations, make sure to replace mk_mysql.vbs with the mk_mysql.ps1 in the ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins directory.

Additional information for users:

The mk_mysql.ps1 requires Windows PowerShell (version 5.0 and above) on the target system.
Ensure that any custom modifications to mk_mysql.vbs are ported to the new script if needed.
Review your agent update policies to ensure a smooth transition.
No changes are required on the Checkmk server side; only the agent on the monitored Windows hosts needs updating.
