MongoDB Output Plugin

This plugin sends metrics to MongoDB and automatically creates the collections as time series collections when they don't already exist. Please note: Requires MongoDB 5.0+ for Time Series Collections

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

# A plugin that can transmit logs to mongodb
[[outputs.mongodb]]
  # connection string examples for mongodb
  dsn = "mongodb://localhost:27017"
  # dsn = "mongodb://mongod1:27017,mongod2:27017,mongod3:27017/admin&replicaSet=myReplSet&w=1"

  # overrides serverSelectionTimeoutMS in dsn if set
  # timeout = "30s"

  # default authentication, optional
  # authentication = "NONE"

  # for SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication
  # authentication = "SCRAM"
  # username = "root"
  # password = "***"

  # for x509 certificate authentication
  # authentication = "X509"
  # tls_ca = "ca.pem"
  # tls_key = "client.pem"
  # # tls_key_pwd = "changeme" # required for encrypted tls_key
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

  # database to store measurements and time series collections
  # database = "telegraf"

  # granularity can be seconds, minutes, or hours.
  # configuring this value will be based on your input collection frequency.
  # see https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/timeseries-collections/#create-a-time-series-collection
  # granularity = "seconds"

  # optionally set a TTL to automatically expire documents from the measurement collections.
