MongoDB backend
Prerequisites
To use MongoDB as a backend, libmongoc
1.7.0 or higher should be installed first. Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.
Configuration
To enable data sending to the MongoDB backend set the following options in netdata.conf
:
[backend]
enabled = yes
type = mongodb
In the Netdata configuration directory run ./edit-config mongodb.conf
and set MongoDB URI, database name, and collection name:
# URI
uri = mongodb://<hostname>
# database name
database = your_database_name
# collection name
collection = your_collection_name
The default socket timeout depends on the backend update interval. The timeout is 500 ms shorter than the interval (but not less than 1000 ms). You can alter the timeout using the sockettimeoutms
MongoDB URI option.
