How can I run the following MySQL command from Ignition: “Show Slave Status;”

This works fine from the MySQL workbench and I used it extensively while setting up the replication slave. The command returns a bunch of handy items and I’d like to place them as tags for use in Ignition.

Just like any other query.

`query = "Show Slave Status"
result = system.db.runPrepQuery(query,[])
event.source.parent.getComponent('Power Table 1').data = result`
