Database Monitoring offers comprehensive insights into your MongoDB databases by providing access to critical metrics, slow operations, operation samples, explain plans, and replication state changes. To take advantage of Database Monitoring for MongoDB, ensure that the Datadog Agent is installed and configured to connect to your MongoDB instances. This guide outlines the steps to set up Database Monitoring for self-hosted MongoDB.

Before you begin

Supported MongoDB major versions
4.4, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0
Supported MongoDB editions
Community, Enterprise
Supported Agent versions
7.58.0+
Performance impact
The default Agent configuration for Database Monitoring is conservative, but you can adjust settings such as the collection interval and operation sampling rate to better suit your needs. For most workloads, the Agent represents less than one percent of query execution time on the database and less than one percent of CPU.

Connection strings or SRV strings
Although MongoDB connection strings or SRV strings provide many benefits such as automatic failover and load balancing, the Datadog Agent must connect directly to the MongoDB instance being monitored. If the Agent connects to a different MongoDB instance while it is running (as in the case of failover, load balancing, and so on), the Agent calculates the difference in statistics between two hosts, producing inaccurate metrics.

Data security considerations
Read about how Database Management handles sensitive information for information about what data the Agent collects from your databases and how to ensure it is secure.

Setup

To enable Database Monitoring for your database:

  1. Grant the Agent access to your MongoDB instances
  2. Install and configure the Agent

Grant the Agent access to your MongoDB instances

The Datadog Agent requires read-only access to the MongoDB instance to collect statistics and queries.

    In a Mongo shell, authenticate to the MongoDB instance, create a read-only user for the Datadog Agent in the admin database, and grant the required permissions:

    # Authenticate as the admin user.
use admin
db.auth("admin", "<YOUR_MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD>")

# Create the user for the Datadog Agent.
db.createUser({
  "user": "datadog",
  "pwd": "<UNIQUE_PASSWORD>",
  "roles": [
    { role: "read", db: "admin" },
    { role: "read", db: "local" },
    { role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin" }
  ]
})

    Grant additional permissions to the datadog user in the databases you want to monitor:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "read", db: "mydatabase" },
  { role: "read", db: "myotherdatabase" }
])

    Alternatively, you can grant readAnyDatabase role to the datadog user in the admin database to monitor all databases:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "readAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }
])

    In a Mongo shell, authenticate to the primary node of the replica set, create a read-only user for the Datadog Agent in the admin database, and grant the required permissions:

    # Authenticate as the admin user.
use admin
db.auth("admin", "<YOUR_MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD>")

# Create the user for the Datadog Agent.
db.createUser({
  "user": "datadog",
  "pwd": "<UNIQUE_PASSWORD>",
  "roles": [
    { role: "read", db: "admin" },
    { role: "read", db: "local" },
    { role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin" }
  ]
})

    Grant additional permissions to the datadog user in the databases you want to monitor:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "read", db: "mydatabase" },
  { role: "read", db: "myotherdatabase" }
])

    Alternatively, you can grant readAnyDatabase role to the datadog user in the admin database to monitor all databases:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "readAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }
])
    1. For each shard in your cluster, connect to the primary node of the shard, create a read-only user for the Datadog Agent in the admin database, and grant the required permissions:
    # Authenticate as the admin user.
use admin
db.auth("admin", "<YOUR_MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD>")

# Create the user for the Datadog Agent.
db.createUser({
  "user": "datadog",
  "pwd": "<UNIQUE_PASSWORD>",
  "roles": [
    { role: "read", db: "admin" },
    { role: "read", db: "local" },
    { role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin" }
  ]
})

    Grant additional permissions to the datadog user in the databases you want to monitor:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "read", db: "mydatabase" },
  { role: "read", db: "myotherdatabase" }
])

    Alternatively, you can grant the readAnyDatabase role to the datadog user in the admin database to monitor all databases:

    db.grantRolesToUser("datadog", [
  { role: "readAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }
])
    1. Follow the same steps and create the same user from a mongos proxy. This action creates the local user in the config servers and allows direct connection.

    Securely store your password

    Store your password using secret management software such as Vault. You can then reference this password as ENC[<SECRET_NAME>] in your Agent configuration files: for example, ENC[datadog_user_database_password]. See Secrets Management for more information.

    The examples on this page use datadog_user_database_password to refer to the name of the secret where your password is stored. It is possible to reference your password in plain text, but this is not recommended.

    Install and configure the Agent

    Datadog recommends installing the Agent directly on the MongoDB host, as that enables the Agent to collect a variety of system telemetry (CPU, memory, disk, network) in addition to MongoDB specific telemetry.

    Create the configuration file

      To configure the Agent to monitor a standalone MongoDB instance, use the following configuration block:

      init_config:

      init_config:
instances:
    ## @param hosts - required
    ## For a sharded cluster, you need one check instance for each mongod instance in
    ## each shard (including the configsvr shard) as well as one additional check instance
    ## that connects to at least one mongos node.

    ## Specify the hostname, IP address, or UNIX domain socket of the mongod or mongos instance.

      Set up the Agent

        Place the MongoDB Agent configuration file created in the previous step in /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/mongo.d/conf.yaml. See the sample conf file for all available configuration options.

        Once all Agent configuration is complete, restart the Datadog Agent.

        Validate

        Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for mongo under the Checks section. Navigate to the Database Monitoring for MongoDB page in Datadog to get started.

        To configure the Database Monitoring Agent running in a Docker container, set the Autodiscovery Integration Templates as Docker labels on your Agent container.

        The MongoDB check is included in the Datadog Agent. No additional installation is necessary.

        Note: The Agent must have read permission on the Docker socket for autodiscovery of labels to work.

        Add the configuration details for the MongoDB check from the previous step in the com.datadoghq.ad.checks label. See the sample conf file for all available configuration options.

        export DD_API_KEY=<DD_API_KEY>

        Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for mongo under the Checks section. Navigate to the Database Monitoring for MongoDB page in Datadog to get started.

        If you have a Kubernetes cluster, use the Datadog Cluster Agent for Database Monitoring.

        If cluster checks are not already enabled in your Kubernetes cluster, follow the instructions to enable cluster checks. You can configure the Cluster Agent either with static files mounted in the Cluster Agent container, or by using Kubernetes service annotations.

        Command line with Helm

        Execute the following Helm command to install the Datadog Cluster Agent on your Kubernetes cluster. Replace the values to match your account and environment:

        helm repo add datadog https://helm.datadoghq.com
helm repo update

helm install <RELEASE_NAME> \
  --set 'datadog.apiKey=<DATADOG_API_KEY>' \
  --set 'clusterAgent.enabled=true' \
  --set 'clusterChecksRunner.enabled=true' \
  --set 'clusterAgent.confd.mongo\.yaml=cluster_check: true
init_config:
instances:
  - hosts:
      - <HOST>:<PORT>
    username: datadog
    password: <UNIQUE_PASSWORD>
    options:
      authSource: admin
    dbm: true
    cluster_name: <MONGO_CLUSTER_NAME>
    reported_database_hostname: <DATABASE_HOSTNAME_OVERRIDE>
    database_autodiscovery:
      enabled: true
    additional_metrics: ["metrics.commands", "tcmalloc", "top", "collection"]
    collections_indexes_stats: true' \
  datadog/datadog

        Configure with mounted files

        To configure a cluster check with a mounted configuration file, mount the configuration file in the Cluster Agent container on the path: /conf.d/mongo.yaml:

        cluster_check: true  # Make sure to include this flag
init_config:
instances:
  - hosts:
      - <HOST>:<PORT>
    username: datadog
    password: "ENC[datadog_user_database_password]"
    options:
      authSource: admin
    dbm: true
    cluster_name: <MONGO_CLUSTER_NAME>
    reported_database_hostname: <DATABASE_HOSTNAME_OVERRIDE>
    database_autodiscovery:
      enabled: true
    additional_metrics: ["metrics.commands", "tcmalloc", "top", "collection"]
    collections_indexes_stats: true

        Configure with Kubernetes service annotations

        Rather than mounting a file, you can declare the instance configuration as a Kubernetes Service. To configure this check for an Agent running on Kubernetes, create a Service in the same namespace as the Datadog Cluster Agent:

        apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: mongodb-datadog-check-instances
  annotations:
    ad.datadoghq.com/mongo.checks: |
    {
      "mongo": {
        "init_config": {},
        "instances": [{
          "hosts": ["<HOST>:<PORT>"],
          "username": "datadog",
          "password": "ENC[datadog_user_database_password]",
          "options": {
            "authSource": "admin"
          },
          "dbm": true,
          "cluster_name": "<MONGO_CLUSTER_NAME>",
          "reported_database_hostname": "<DATABASE_HOSTNAME_OVERRIDE>",
          "additional_metrics": ["metrics.commands", "tcmalloc", "top", "collection"],
          "collections_indexes_stats": true,
          "database_autodiscovery": {
            "enabled": true
          }
        }]
      }
    }    
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 27017
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 27017
    name: mongodb

        The Cluster Agent automatically registers this configuration and begins running the MongoDB integration.

        To avoid exposing the datadog user’s password in plain text, use the Agent’s secret management package and declare the password using the ENC[] syntax.

        Validate

        Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for mongo under the Checks section. Navigate to the Database Monitoring for MongoDB page in Datadog to get started.

        Data Collected

        Metrics

        Refer to the MongoDB integration documentation for a comprehensive list of metrics collected by the MongoDB integration.

        Slow operations

        Database Monitoring for MongoDB captures slow operations from either MongoDB slow query logs or the system.profile collection. Slow operations are defined as those taking longer than the slowms threshold set in your MongoDB configuration.

        • With Database Profiling Enabled: When profiling is enabled at levels 1 or 2, Database Monitoring collects slow operations from the system.profile collection.
        • With Database Profiling Disabled: If profiling is disabled, Database Monitoring relies on MongoDB slow query logs to gather slow operations.

        Operation samples and explain plans

        Database Monitoring for MongoDB gathers operation samples using the currentOp command. This command provides information about operations that are currently being executed on the MongoDB instance. Additionally, Database Monitoring collects explain plans for the read operation samples using the explain command, offering detailed insights into the query execution plans.

        Replication state changes

        Database Monitoring for MongoDB generates an event each time there is a change in the replication state within the MongoDB instance. This ensures that any changes in replication are promptly detected and reported.

        Collection of schemas and indexes

        Database Monitoring for MongoDB collects inferred schemas and indexes of MongoDB collections. This information is used to provide insights into the structure and organization of your collections.

        When analyzing MongoDB collections, Datadog collects inferred schema information by sampling documents using the $sample aggregation stage. From this analysis, only metadata about the schema is gathered and sent to Datadog, including field names, field prevalence (how often each field appears), and their respective data types. Datadog does not collect or transmit the actual content of documents or any customer business data. This ensures that sensitive data remains protected while still providing valuable insights into the structure and organization of your collections.
