Features

  • Dynamic Applications that collect data from MongoDB installed in Linux or any SSH enabled device. The PowerPack will collect data from Windows servers as long as either the port running MongoDB is accessible to the collector or the Windows server has SSH enabled.

  • Event Policies and corresponding alerts that are triggered when a threshold meets the certain status criteria.
  • A device class that classifies a MongoDB server.

Enhancements and Issues Addressed

The following enhancements and addressed issues are included in version 100 of the MongoDB PowerPack:

  • This new version of the MongoDB PowerPackand is not backward compatible with the SLCOE pack. The device must be deleted and rediscovered to use this new GA pack.

  • The MongoDB server is accessible via an IP address. This IP address must be discovered in SL1 as a pingable device.

  • A MongoDB connection URI is a universal connection method and can be used to connect to any type of MongoDB deployment: standalone, atlas, replica set, or a sharded cluster. If using a connection string, all other MongoDB related credential fields will be ignored.
