There are none. Per the documentation:
It is not necessary to supply correct user name, password, or
database name values to obtain the server status; however, if
incorrect values are provided, the server will log a failed
connection attempt.
If you don't want log spam about failed connections, you'd need
a user with privilege to connect to the mentioned database.
Otherwise, not.
