Grafana 4.6.2 + MySQL DB 8.0

Hi,

I’m trying to add a data source of type MySQL in Grafana and getting the below message.

this authentication plugin is not supported

Have created user in MySQL server using the below query.

CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

When I query the list of users, I can see that, this new user is having plugin as caching_sha2_password . But not sure why Grafana is still showing that error message.

Can someone please assist.
