22
+ description: |
23
+ - To use MongoDB as an external storage for long-term archiving, you should first [install](http://mongoc.org/libmongoc/current/installing.html) libmongoc 1.7.0 or higher.
24
+ - Next, re-install Netdata from the source, which detects that the required library is now available.

43
+ detailed_description: |
44
+ The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
45
+ - PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
46
+ - IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
47
+ - PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
48
+
49
+ Example IPv4:
50
+ ```yaml
51
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:27017 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:27017
52
+ ```
53
+ Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
54
+ ```yaml
55
+ destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
56
+ ```
57
+ When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.

+ Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns).
101
+ required: false
102
+ detailed_description: |
103
+ Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
104
+ The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
105
+ filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
106
+
107
+ A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
108
+ use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
109

110

111

112
+ One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name.
113
+ required: false
114
+ detailed_description: |
115
+ A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
116
+ use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
117
+ positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
118
+ has a higher priority than the configuration option.

124
+ Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
125
