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.
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.
