Description:
During a new install I did:
...
Monitored Database Information
IMPORTANT: The Admin user account specified below requires special MySQL
privileges.
Visit the following URL for more information:

MySQL Socket []: /path/to/mysql.sock # notice the leading space, added inadvertently
Admin User []: admin_user
Admin Password :
Re-enter Password :
Monitor Group []: monitor_group
Warning: The specified path /path/to/mysql.sock is not a socket.
How to repeat:
See above.
It's easy to add a leading or trailing space and not notice and IMO it would be clearer if these are removed.
Even under windows it's confusing have a filename starting or ending with a space and this is usually a matter of miscopying the information from another source.
As the Warning message is not quoted the extra space is not very obvious. (it was a typo)
So please remove this and this issue will be cleared up.
It also seems useful to give feedback directly and not wait for all 5 entries (in this case) to be entered, and give the message earlier. I noticed this previously when making a mistake with the input.
Suggested fix:
So please remove leading and trailing white space characters from input.
