Supported Versions
2.6.10 or higher

This discribes the monitoring setup for the MongoDB database.

Prerequisites

  • Install gateway version 5.0.0 or higher.
  • Map a suitable gateway management profile to a resource.
  • Create credentials with type HTTP before assigning a template to a resource. The Port, Connection Time-out, and Is Secure values are not used to create credentials.

Discovery using the gateway

The administrator can deploy a gateway to support MongoDB agentless monitoring. The gateway establishes a connection to the database using the management profile, collects metrics from the templates, and starts monitoring.

To monitor MongoDB:

  • Associate appropriate database credentials to the discovered database.
  • Assign one or more database-specific global templates on the device.

Choose one of the following management mechanisms to discover MongoDB servers and add them to your inventory:

  • WMI
  • SSH
  • SNMP
  • (Optional) Manually add a database server to the infrastructure inventory.
    1. Select Infrastructure.
    2. Click the Settings icon.
    3. Select Resource > Add.
    4. In the Add Device window, enter the required details Device Type and any additional properties you want.
    5. Click Save.

View resource metrics

The gateway monitors the application using the assigned templates and displays the results in graphical format. To view resource metrics, click the desired Database Resource Name > Resource Details > Metrics.

Troubleshooting

If the graphs are plotted incorrectly, verify that the resource is accessible and telnet connectivity:

ping <IPAddress>
telnet <IPAddress:Port>

Also, verify that you are using valid credentials for the resource.

Supported templates

  • MongoDB Performance Template
  • MongoDB_activeclients_Template
  • MongoDB_asserts_Template
  • MongoDB_btree_Template
  • MongoDB_connections_Template
  • MongoDB_currentqueue_Template
  • MongoDB_cursors_TemplateMongoDB_flush_Template
  • MongoDB_heap_Template
  • MongoDB_memory_Template
  • MongoDB_network_Template
  • MongoDB_opcounter_Template
  • MongoDB_pagefaults_Template
  • MongoDB_replica_Template

After selecting the templates, you can:

  • Assign MongoDB templates from Setup or at the device level.
  • Customize default configuration parameter values while assigning the template.

Resource template configuration parameters

Configuration ParameterDescription
Connection Time-outThe maximum time to connect to the database. The driver waits for the specified time before timing out due to connection failure. The default time is 15000 milliseconds(ms).
MongoDB Stats URLThe URL establishes the network connection to the MongoDB cluster. Use the URL format: http/https://{ipaddress}:{port}/serverstatus while connecting to the database.
Application TypeThe application type value to identify the adapter. For example, MONGODB.

Warning: Do not change the default application type value.
