We expected the default behavior of 2, but saw hundreds. We had no way to validate the config without a root token.\r\n\r\nIs there a way to trace vault activity? #667\r\n\r\nWhile trying to maintain effective security policies against a keyspace...is there a way to make certain information visible? Such as connection info and the number of connections to an instance while still preserving the secrets?\r\n\r\nSimilar to how noted here:\r\n\r\n```API\r\n\r\n/mysql/config/connection\r\n\r\nPOST\r\n\r\nDESCRIPTION\r\nConfigures the connection DSN used to communicate with MySQL.
