Is it possible to redirect some heavy “reads” on mysql replica by proxysql, also is it possible to monitor slave status/replica lag by proxy sql?  
General architecture : 3 mysql nodes + 1 mysql replication slave+ 2 proxysql nodes.  
In mysql\_servers table already added 3 mysql nodes but how about replication slave node ?
