MySQL server version

mysql Ver 8.0.21 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)

mysqld_exporter command line flags

--config.my-cnf /etc/mysqld_exporter/.mysqld_exporter.cnf --no-collect.info_schema.tables

What did you do that produced an error?

I added the machine to prometheus and the prometheus shows to me this error message:
invalid metric type "dictionary_file_words_count untyped"

What did you expect to see?

In the mysqld exporter output i see a metric with "."

# HELP mysql_global_status_validate_password.dictionary_file_words_count Generic metric from SHOW GLOBAL STATUS.
# TYPE mysql_global_status_validate_password.dictionary_file_words_count untyped
mysql_global_status_validate_password.dictionary_file_words_count 0

What did you see instead?

For the metrics to be valid I think it will have to have a "_" instead of "."
