 Description   

The 23.02.3 default maxscale.cnf has this comment:

# Monitor for the servers
#
# This will keep MaxScale aware of the state of the servers.
# MariaDB Monitor documentation:
# https://mariadb.com/kb/en/maxscale-6-monitors/
#
# Create the monitor user with:
#
#  CREATE USER 'monitor_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'monitor_pw';
#  GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT, FILE, SUPER, RELOAD, PROCESS, SHOW DATABASES, EVENT ON *.* TO 'monitor_user'@'%';

Not only does the .cnf reference MaxScale 6 documentation several times.... If you run these grants, you'll get an priv error with current versions of MariaDB. (missing REPLICATION MONITOR, REPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN, CONNECTION ADMIN permissions)

Please update.

The template file no longer contains any GRANT information, but instead there are links to the version specific documentation.
