14 + exporter_description: |
15 + Use the MongoDB connector for the exporting engine to archive your agent's metrics to a MongoDB database
16 + for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.

18 +setup:
19 + prerequisites:
20 + list:
21 + - title: ''
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.
25 + configuration:
26 + file:
27 + name: 'exporting.conf'
28 + options:
29 + description: |
30 + The following options can be defined for this exporter.
31 + folding:
32 + title: 'Config options'
33 + enabled: true
34 + list:
35 + - name: 'enabled'
36 + default_value: 'no'
37 + description: 'Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes|no).'
38 + required: true
39 + - name: 'destination'
40 + default_value: 'localhost'
41 + description: 'Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics.'
42 + required: true
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.

77 + required: false
78 + - name: 'update every'
79 + default_value: '10'
80 + description: |
81 + Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds.
82 + required: false
83 + detailed_description: |
84 + Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
85 + send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
86 + - name: 'buffer on failures'
87 + default_value: '10'
88 + description: |
89 + The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available.
90 + required: false
91 + detailed_description: |
92 + If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
93 + - name: 'timeout ms'
94 + default_value: '2 * update_every * 1000'
95 + description: 'The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data.'
96 + required: false
97 + - name: 'send hosts matching'
98 + default_value: 'localhost *'
99 + description: |
100 + 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 + - name: 'send charts matching'
110 + default_value: '*'
111 + description: |
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.
119 + - name: 'send names instead of ids'
120 + default_value: ''
121 + description: 'Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes|no).'
122 + required: false
123 + detailed_description: |
124 + Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
125 + are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
126 + different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
127 + - name: 'send configured labels'
128 + default_value: ''
129 + description: 'Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes|no).'
130 + required: false
131 + - name: 'send automatic labels'
132 + default_value: ''

144 + The default socket timeout depends on the exporting connector update interval.
