BREAKING CHANGES:

  • Selected mysql_global_status_* and mysql_slave_status_* metrics now expose Counter or Gauge types instead of Untyped.
    This includes query and table-cache totals, thread and uptime values, and replica running and lag values.
    Consumers that inspect metric family types should review these series. #​1099
