Does anyone know if there is an authorization log for mysql? I see the error log, but would like to monitor authorization access.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a way to log authorization attempts to a separate file. Though if you set
log-warnings = 2in the[mysqld]section of/etc/mysql/my.cnfyou’ll get failed login attempts logged in the error log. From the docs:Short answer is not really, but http://www.percona.com/blog/2012/12/28/auditing-login-attempts-in-mysql/
