+### configuration
+
+You can configure many database servers, like this:
+
+You can provide, per server, the following:
+
+1. a name, anything you like, but keep it short
+2. the mysql command to connect to the server
+3. the mysql command line options to be used for connecting to the server
+
+Here is an example for 2 servers:
+
+```sh
+mysql_opts[server1]="-h server1.example.com"
+mysql_opts[server2]="-h server2.example.com --connect_timeout 2"
+```
+
+The above will use the `mysql` command found in the system path.
+You can also provide a custom mysql command per server, like this:
+
+```sh
+mysql_cmds[server2]="/opt/mysql/bin/mysql"
+```
+
+The above sets the mysql command only for server2. server1 will use the system default.
+
+If no configuration is given, the plugin will attempt to connect to mysql server at localhost.
