| status
        
        string
         |

        ONLINE - Backend server is fully operational. OFFLINE_SOFT - When a server is put into  OFFLINE_SOFT mode, connections are kept in use until the current transaction is completed. This allows to gracefully detach a backend. OFFLINE_HARD - When a server is put into OFFLINE_HARD mode, the existing connections are dropped, while new incoming connections aren't accepted either. If omitted the proxysql database default for status is ONLINE.

| weight
        
        integer
         | 
      
        
        The bigger the weight of a server relative to other weights, the higher the probability of the server being chosen from the hostgroup. If omitted the proxysql database default for weight is 1.

Note
- Supports 
check_mode. 
Examples
---
# This example adds a server, it saves the mysql server config to disk, but
# avoids loading the mysql server config to runtime (this might be because
# several servers are being added and the user wants to push the config to
# runtime in a single batch using the community.general.proxysql_manage_config
# module).  It uses supplied credentials to connect to the proxysql admin
# interface.
- name: Add a server
  community.proxysql.proxysql_backend_servers:
    login_user: 'admin'
    login_password: 'admin'
    hostname: 'mysql01'
    state: present
    load_to_runtime: False
# This example removes a server, saves the mysql server config to disk, and
# dynamically loads the mysql server config to runtime.  It uses credentials
# in a supplied config file to connect to the proxysql admin interface.
- name: Remove a server
  community.proxysql.proxysql_backend_servers:
    config_file: '~/proxysql.cnf'
    hostname: 'mysql02'
    state: absent
  Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description |

        The mysql host modified or removed from proxysql
         Sample:
        
       
        {'changed': True, 'hostname': '192.168.52.1', 'msg': 'Added server to mysql_hosts', 'server': {'comment': '', 'compression': '0', 'hostgroup_id': '1', 'hostname': '192.168.52.1', 'max_connections': '1000', 'max_latency_ms': '0', 'max_replication_lag': '0', 'port': '3306', 'status': 'ONLINE', 'use_ssl': '0', 'weight': '1'}, 'state': 'present'}
