Hi,

Can anyone tell which permissions, the account the monitoring module is using to reach ido backend icinga database, should have?

At the moment, My setup is using the same account the icinga2-core- Ido mysql feature has, but I’m under the impression that icingaweb2 monitoring module does not require any write permissions on Icinga database.

Is there any document explaining this? I could not find it under the monitoring module documentation  
[https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web/latest/modules/monitoring/doc/04-Backends/](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web/latest/modules/monitoring/doc/04-Backends/)

Thanks in advance,
