How Does eG Enterprise Monitor MongoDB?

eG Enterprise can monitor MongoDB in an agent-based or an agentless manner. In case of the agentless approach, the remote agent used to monitor the MongoDB server should be deployed on a remote Windows host in the environment.

Regardless of the approach (agent-based or agentless), the eG agent connects to a database on the MongoDB server instance and runs built-in MongoDB API commands to pull the metrics of interest from across databases. To enable this connection, each test that the eG agent runs on the MongoDB server instance should be configured with the name of a MongoDB database.

Before you can begin monitoring MongoDB, you need to fulfill a few critical pre-requisites. To know more about these pre-requisites, refer, Pre-requisites for monitoring MongoDB Database Server
