Need help with MySql configuration

[isthattay]

Im using a plugin that requires

"MySQLHost": "localhost",
"MySQLUsername": "root",
"MySQLPassword": "password",
"DBName": "name",

Ive downloaded mysql to server to the server and status is "running", just want to confirm a few points as im not familiar with mysql or the workbench app.

1. In SQL workbench, "Host" appears to just be my computer name - is that typical by default, not sure if im looking at correct field or if i need to change?
2. I set a root username password so that is clear. I assume no other users are necessary
3. DBname - i do not see a DBname anywhere in workbench, Im assuming i need to create one but this is where I need the most guidance - will i need define tablenames etc? not sure how it would need to relate to my config file.

Any guidance you can provide to get me in the right direction, or recommended online resources is greatly appreciated

1. If hosted on the same machine "localhost" is fine.

3. You should only need to create a database not the tables. The plugin will use that database to create the tables it needs to store the data for it to function.
