MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB Atlas is a fully-managed cloud database that handles deploying, managing and healing deployments on its cloud service provider.

Deploy this integration to send your MongoDB Atlas metric to your Logz.io account using OpenTelemetry collector.

Before you begin, you'll need:

  • A MongoDB Atlas project
  • Private and public keys created for your MongoDB Atlas organization or the project to send the data from.
  • An active account with Logz.io

Download and configure OpenTelemetry collector​

Create a dedicated directory on your host and download the OpenTelemetry collector that is relevant to the operating system of your host.

After downloading the collector, create a configuration file config.yaml with the following parameters:

receivers:
  mongodbatlas:
    public_key: <<YOUR-MONGODB-ATLAS-PUBLIC-KEY>>
    private_key: <<YOUR-MONGODB-ATLAS-PRIVATE-KEY>>

exporters:
  logging:
  prometheusremotewrite:
    endpoint: https://<<LISTENER-HOST>>:8053
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer <<PROMETHEUS-METRICS-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>
    target_info:
        enabled: false

processors:
  batch:

extensions:
  pprof:
    endpoint: :1777
  zpages:
    endpoint: :55679
  health_check:

service:
  extensions: [health_check, pprof, zpages]
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [mongodbatlas]
      processors: [batch]
      exporters: [logging, prometheusremotewrite]

Replace the placeholders to match your specifics. (They are indicated by the double angle brackets << >>):

  • Replace <<LISTENER-HOST>> with the Logz.io Listener URL for your region, configured to use port 8052 for http traffic, or port 8053 for https traffic. For example, listener.logz.io if your account is hosted on AWS US East, or listener-nl.logz.io if hosted on Azure West Europe.
  • Replace <<PROMETHEUS-METRICS-SHIPPING-TOKEN>> with a token for the Metrics account you want to ship to.
    Here's how to look up your Metrics token.
  • Replace <<YOUR-MONGODB-ATLAS-PUBLIC-KEY>> with the public key to your MongoDB Atlas organization or project.
  • Replace <<YOUR-MONGODB-ATLAS-PRIVATE-KEY>> with the private key to your MongoDB Atlas organization or project.

Start the collector​

Run the following command:

<path/to>/otelcol-contrib --config ./config.yaml
  • Replace <path/to> with the path to the directory where you downloaded the collector.

Check Logz.io for your metrics​

Give your data some time to get from your system to ours, then log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.
