The Write MongoDB plugin writes data collected by collectd to an instance of MongoDB, a schema-less "NoSQL" database.

Synopsis

 <Plugin "write_mongodb">
   <Node "default">
     Host "localhost"
     Port     "27017"
     Timeout    2000
     StoreRates true
   </Node>
 </Plugin>

This will register a writer with the following name:

write_mongodb/localhost

 /* Collection "collectd.${plugin}" = */

   "host": "localhost",    /* string */
   "plugin_instance": "",  /* string */
