MongoDB module

edit

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This module periodically fetches metrics from MongoDB servers.

Module-specific configuration notes

edit

When configuring the hosts option, you must use MongoDB URLs of the following format:

[mongodb://][user:pass@]host[:port][?options]

The URL can be as simple as:

- module: mongodb
  hosts: ["localhost"]

Or more complex like:

- module: mongodb
  hosts: ["mongodb://myuser:mypass@localhost:40001", "otherhost:40001"]

The username and password can be included in the URL or they can be set using the respective configuration options. The credentials in the URL take precedence over the username and password configuration options.

- module: mongodb
  metricsets: ["status"]
  hosts: ["localhost:27017"]
  username: root
  password: test

Compatibility

edit

The MongoDB metricsets were tested with MongoDB 3.4 and 3.0 and are expected to work with all versions >= 2.8.

Example configuration

edit

The MongoDB module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Specify which modules to run. Here is an example configuration:

metricbeat.modules:
- module: mongodb
  metricsets: ["dbstats", "status"]
  period: 10s

  # The hosts must be passed as MongoDB URLs in the format:
  # [mongodb://][user:pass@]host[:port].
  # The username and password can also be set using the respective configuration
  # options. The credentials in the URL take precedence over the username and
  # password configuration options.
  hosts: ["localhost:27017"]

  # Username to use when connecting to MongoDB. Empty by default.
  #username: user

  # Password to use when connecting to MongoDB. Empty by default.
  #password: pass
