Views getting create automatically in Mysql


Today I noticed that suddenly, a number of views are created in my DB, most of these views deal with system performance. I am pretty sure I have not created these views, for all of then the DEFINER is
DEFINER=mysql.sys@localhost

Have I been a victim of any SQL injections, has anyone tempered with my DB OR is it that mistakenly someone has changed any configurations that has created these views?

if this is a config change, how can I undo the config change, if there is any other issue what could be the solution to this ?

Following are the View that were created.

Solution

  • One of Our Developers had enabled performance monitoring, thus these views were created.
